Well, since they are checkboxes and not radio buttons, yes you can.

My own personal story is that I joined my high school's team as a junior because I heard they needed a programmer. The previous year the team had been almost entirely seniors, and very few students returned. I had done some coding for fun on my own, and I thought that programming robots would be pretty cool. Little did I know how much FIRST would suck me in and show me all this engineering stuff that I had never gotten a chance to see before.
