what do you guys do ?

Also place your team on a point system to decided who gets to go to competitions, warn students if they are lazy and don't do work they won't recieve points for their time and won't be invited to go to competition with the team.

I really don't like this idea. FIRST isn't supposed to be about who is more important or who did more work. If people can't spend as much time working on FIRST or just don't spend as much time working on FIRST (for any reason), should they not be given the full opertunity to get as much out of it as the rest of us?

I'm all for stopping certain people from going to competitions and other team events. This shouldn't be done by limiting people unwilling to devote thier lives to FIRST. Instead, ask them what they can do, if they do what they say they will do they go. If they don't do what they say they will you can assume they don't care and leave them behind.

Just my opinion,
