During my freshman and sophomore year, when RAMTECH 59 had been looking for members a good 60+ kids did show up. In total about 40 kids finally joined the team. Yet throughout the period of 6 weeks they were dropping like fly's. Came in and out as they pleased. When it got to the last 2 weeks or so, only about 10 kids and our Engineers (veterans of 59) were really working on the robot. It takes a lot of time and dedication and not everyone can put out that much....why they joined the team in the first place...I dont know....
I would have to say..the most interesting thing was watching the kids that joined the team sit around, empty trash, play cards and stuff....
I can't really think of a way to get people motivated. Other then the fact that you give them something to work on and do, so they feel like they did contribute in some way...now im on a team with about 10 kids....(Team 1077) and we still have problems getting people working. I guess on every team there are going to be kids that do not work. Everyone has their days.
