Team 25 also gives a test out to the team on important parts of the manual, as well as a little bit of team history. Last year, the test was to see who would be allowed in the pits.

This year, it's more to just make sure everyone knows the rules and knows information about the team in case a judge happens to start asking them questions.

*I think. I'm not exactly sure about the number.

We've never had that much trouble getting everyone to pass before this year. Typically we only have to give it twice (maybe 3) times for everyone to pass it. After seeing so many people failing, we changed our penalty from not attending the trips to not counting their hours (team members must maintain a certain % of hours to go on the trips) until they passed. Also, the leadership will definitely keep in mind how long it took a student to pass the test when selecting our pit and drive crews.
