Being an Alum from team 151 i think applications is a horrible idea. I think its better to have a series of team building activities and seeing how people work and work together and make judgements off of that. You can't tell about a person from an application, you don't know who'll get hooked and who won't. who will do work and who wont. Whats the point of asking GPA? how does that translate into FIRST at all? Keep in mind there are a lot of AP, and high level kids in FIRST but it wasn't meant only for them, FIRST was meant for the lower level kids who maybe wouldn't have considered engineering and to give them a chance. Its like colleges basing stuff on SAT's they are going to decided to weather or not to let us in on how we perform on some sillyA#$ test at 8:00 on a Saturday morning? Asking GPA on a FIRST application is the same thing. I think everybody deserves a chance and go from there. We had some kids on our team who weren't in the highest level classes but were the hardest working and most dedicated, they worked to keep their grades up because of FIRST. Thats what this is supposed to be.
