Re: Volunteer Screening - High School Students

My team's situation might provide some insight into FIRST's mindset here.

Our team is from Simon's Rock College of Bard. Basically, Simon's Rock is the only college in the country designed for high school age students who want to go to college a couple years early. As a result, our team is mostly made up of kids under-18 who are officially enrolled in their high-schools but attend Simon's Rock. FIRST said that when determining who was to be considered a student (and could legally handle the robot in competition, etc) and who was to be considered a mentor age didn't matter. The determining factor was high school enrollment. We were allowed to count anyone duel-enrolled as a student, but anyone not enrolled in a high-school was to be considered a mentor. If FIRST is consistent in their definitions I think it is safe to extrapolate that 18 year old high school kids are students, not mentors and do not need to be screened, but 18 year old college students are mentors and need to be screened.
