QotW 08-31-03: Making the cut.

[sanddrag]

My team has a rather intensive application process that each new member must go through. I feel that this does help us well in keeping out people who aren't right for the team but I beleive it also keeps out a lot of people who could have been potentially great FIRSTers.

Everybody that applied for my team was accepted but many people just didn't apply

I don't think turning people away by telling them no or making them not want to apply or whatever is right. However, having an open "come on in" acceptance procedure would lead to a very unorganized un productive team.

And it is here where I find myself split.
