Team Member Expectations

[EmileH]

My old team had a list of "ten commandments" that all students and adults had to follow.

TEAM 3467 TEN COMMANDMENTS
I. Do Unto Others….Demonstrate Gracious
Professionalism to your teammates, your mentors,
and your competitors.
II. Better safe than run over by a renegade robot.
i.e. When working on the robot
electrical, the power gets shut off. When working on it
mechanically, all electronics are covered with a jacket
or blanket. If people are within 2-3feet of the robot, it
must be disabled.
III. Of those to whom much is given, much is expected.
In other words, lend a hand in teaching, building,
serving, designing or cleaning.
IV. Life is short; show initiative. When in doubt, find out
what’s next on the list!
V. Diversify: in addition to building, have meaningful
participation in outreach or fundraising events each
year.
VI. Communicate. Stay informed daily. Respond
promptly.
VII. I document; therefore, I am.
VIII. Keep it clean—the shop, the robot design, your
behavior, your mouth.
IX. Show up in mind and body. Be on time.
X. When building, think outside the box; when
following team rules, think inside the framework.
Actions have consequences—make them good!
