I'm guessing you're directing your question to me. Well...there are many many grounds on which we choose our team. Each captain of the fields look for something a little different but I would say that our #1 priority is dedication. If they have that spark, they'll stick with the team and contribute in whatever way they can. We don't want those people with a billion AP Classes, Clubs, who simply want to join because it will look good on their application. I'm probably the #1 person on my team to vouch that it has nothing to do with smarts. Well ok, I have a pretty high GPA and all those other numbers but I'm absolutely horrible at science and I don't like math at all. But I'm good at what I need to do and that's leadership skills and organization. Thank goodness they let me on the team because I've come to a new appreciation of engineering and I think thats what its about.

Animation and Programming did their interviews seperately but these are the basis of the interviews & criteria of the people that I helped interview.

Design & Construction: Experience helps but not necessary. We fish out of people any semi-engineering encounters they've had. We've heard stories of people who have taken apart remote controls to try to make them into tasers, rocket cars that almost exploded in one guys face, and all these crazy stories. We love those because it shows their interest in how things work and those are the best people during brainstorming for ideas. We also showed them the goal, asked them if they had any ideas for grabbing it and as long as they made an effort and didn't say "um, no ideas" we liked it.

Management: Sorry, but this is only for those who are organized, my key priority. Don't care how smart you are, you have to be able to sort things out, keep track of everything, and be extremely responsible (since our teacher does give management his credit card # to order parts, airilne tickets, and reserve hotels). Also, those who have leadership skills and will be respected amongst the class.
