Posted by Angela on 04/24/2001 7:34 PM EST:



At the Gunn Robotics Team we have used an application process for a while. Students are required to fill out an application that always includes some wacky question like
"If you were stuck on a desert island with only a traffic cone, a moustrap, and a box of wheaties, how you shelter yourself from the elements?"
This proves to be a really good way to filter out the people who have no idea what they are doing or are uninteresting. We have come to find the applications a neccessity for building our stellar team.

:For next year our team came up with an original idea: make it so that you have to fill out an application form and "try-out" to be on our team. Yes, it sounds cruel, but it really isn't. Everyone will make it. We're simply doing it to see which new members will be helpful right off the bat in terms of programing or animations knowledge and those who will be most committed. What do you all think of this idea? Just a quick yes or no is ok, but I know I'll get more than that. Thanks for the input!
