How Do You Treat New Members/Freshmen ?

[mtaman02]

Other then using our "NEW" team members as Crash Dummies we welcome them by interviewing them. Some of teh things we look for is if they are dedicated, they have a potential to learn, the ability to improve the team and the way it can improve the school, Basically we're looking for a grade 65 Student with a brain. Thats very hard to come by in my school but we manage. No passing grade. No team. Fail a class = suspension, Fail the same class twice in a row = complete termination from the team. If they pass the interview we then use them to handle dangerous robot equipment and tie them to the field and continously run them over to judge how high our robot can climb. "Hence WILMA's treads" Took alot of people to test her height.
