as far as the rest of the stuff we each have to fill out an application with our 1, 2 and 3 choice of subteams to be on.
if too many people want to be on a certain subteam, some would get their second choice. i don't think anyone had to take their third choice.
leaders usually rise to the top on their own. slackers fall by the way side. survival of the fittest. and hopefully the leaders can delegate to keep the unproductive time to a minimum.

To me that sounds like wonderful advice, however, right now it seems like only in a perfect world. I have definately noticed the survival of the fittest. However, what do you do when the adult advisors don't enforce anything, and then the engineers get cranky. Our team has always done well with sinority, and my first year, if you even looked at the robot and the driver saw you, you ran, and kept running. Then this year, for the first time, both myself and the other driver were Juniors, and with no sinority, we lost all control of the team. Now, my brothers class (soon to be sophomores) think it is all a joke, and that we (the 3 seniors) are all pushovers.
