I have the same problem on my team. I wish I had found these forums to discuss this stuff in before this year's build season. Does anyone know what to do about this? You have a team with all freshman, around 3 sophomores, and 3 Juniors. We had no sinority on the team. There were only two on the team, one was in PR and the other, when he showed up, was more entertainment. (I don't think I saw him work on one part this year.) To top it off, we had about 8 people (Seniors) who wanted to join the team, but to only be with their friends.
My dilema... what do you do with a team that was like this, and 90% of it was unproductive all the time. Now, when the new season begins in the fall, all of those freshies will be sophomores, and there will be even more freshies. How can myself and the other two seniors get our sinority back? There was no sinority or structure on the team this past year, and you have soon-to-be-sophomores who think it is ok to walk up and grab the controls of a running robot that you are working on.
