Robotics letters

[Katie Reynolds]

As of last year, we can get a letter for FIRST. All of our letters look the same (big red A's) whether they are for acedemics, band, sports, drama or robotics. With the letter, we also get a nifty little patch with our team logo on it and "Team 93, N.E.W. Apple Corps". The patch is round, so it doesn't fit on the letter very well - so I'm having mine put on the sleeve.

Criteria for lettering:
Lettering in N.E.W. Apple Corps Robotics

Students who wish to receive a letter in FIRST must meet certain criteria before being considered. It is up to the student to make sure that there is documentation that they have the necessary qualifications. Written documentation of how the member met the criteria must be submitted by May 10 of the year in which they wish to receive their letter. Letters will be presented at the team banquet in Mid-May.

The following are the minimum requirements for receiving a letter in FIRST Robotics and the NEW Apple Corps:

- One complete year of involvement on the team September through May
- Excellent attendance record at team meetings/functions

- Attendance at two or more FIRST sanctioned competitions
- Motorola Midwest Regional
- National Championships
- Other regional event
- The IRI and other invitational events do not qualify

Complete participation in at least three extended NAC activities

For example:
- Plexus Picnics
- Flag Day Parade
- OcTOBORfest
- FLL Mentoring
- FLL Tournament
- Children’s Museum Workshop
- Presentations to companies and professional organizations

Complete and unwavering adherence to the Appleton East High School Code of Conduct and the N.E.W. Apple Corps Team Credo

Materials will be reviewed by team advisors and their recommendation will be made to all team advisors for final approval. Letters will be awarded upon completion of the above criteria and after review/approval by the advisors team. For subsequent seasons the member will receive a patch that recognizes their years of involvement.
