so far I have:
1. We only have six weeks to design, build, program and test our robot. This must be your #1 commitment.
2. You must focus at all meetings.
3. School and homework have to be a priority, if you need any help just ask. If your grades start to slide you will be put on probation.
4. You need to have a minimum number of hours in to travel with the team.(haven't decided number yet)

any suggestions would really help, Thanks!

Welcome aboard! Good luck with your first meeting tomorrow. If you have a little bit of time search here on Chief Delphi for information on starting teams or rookie teams. Many teams have made their start-up tools available to new teams. I know that my team #1511 has some rookie team helps on our web page at www.penfieldrobotics.com. And ask for help!

One comment on your first stab at your list: #3 is the most important. Schoolwork trumps all, always. Robotics requires committment, but not at the expense of schoolwork.

Hold on to your hat! Its going to be a wild ride for your first year!
