Like some others, our team also has no REAL admission policy. There are no formal applications...just an informative meeting which is open to everyone. However, we do have "cuts" (which are completely OUT of my control) for people who just don't "pull their weight". That's basically how our team runs.

As for my own personal opinion, I believe your idea to be good. Applications is one way to tell who is actually willing to commit to the team. I also believe in keeping as many people as possible, but allowing only the MOST committed people to participate at competitions. This is one instance where I feel that a student leader is important...one who will keep the high school students up to par as a peer, rather than an authoritarian. All in all though...anyone who wants to should be given the opportunity to share the FIRST experience. It's just up to the students how much they want to get out of it.

Just my personal thoughts...

Chris, #368
