We basically allow people to do what they want, as needed. Everyone has a primary responsibility, but if their group is not working that day, they can work on something else if they are needed. We have a pretty small team, though (less than 20), so we can get away with it.
As for applications, I may be able to get a copy of ours. I'll have to ask our captain for it, but I'll try to get it soon. We basically ask a few questions like "Why do you want to join" and "What can you contribute to our team", ask what the person's interests are, whether they can provide their own transportation home and to Visteon on weekends (not necessary, but we ask anyways). We also ask for 2 teacher recommendations. It's not perfect, but it helps us filter out the few people we really don't want. Most applicants get accepted, so its not really that important.
