All Rocky Mountain Robotics members in good standing, who successfully pass the required grade check, may travel with the team. Team members who elect to attend the competitions are expected to travel and stay with the team.

Parents and siblings are always invited to team competitions (all FIRST competitions are free to the public) but parents are required to make their own travel arrangements and accommodations for these events.

Travel rules will be distributed before each event. Students and their parents will be required to review and sign the travel rules document. Everyone will be required to leave the event and return home at their own expense.

In order to be eligible to earn a Robotics letter, a student must meet criteria in four categories: participation, community service, behavior, and grades. The final decision, however, will rest with the department VP, CEO, and mentors.

Students will:

• be a current and active member of the Rocky Mountain Robotics team.
• be in the 80th percentile of attendance to all full team and department meetings.
• attend three team events outside of regular meetings, such as the kickoff event, the Colorado Regional, any demonstrations/presentations to sponsors and schools, or any fundraising activities.
• attend at least one-third of all team building activities.

Students will complete a minimum of ten (10) hours of community service between the beginning of September 1, 2007 and ending in April 2008. A community service log will be provided to each student prior to the start of the FIRST competition season.

Students will exhibit appropriate behavior throughout the year. This includes, but is not limited to: complying with all written or verbally expressed team rules and expectations and being a positive, active, and contributing team member. Behavior will be evaluated by team leadership.

Grade checks will be conducted once prior to the FIRST competition season and once a week during the six-week competition season. Students will maintain a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) to stay on the team and not allow his/her GPA to drop more than 1 point. If the student's GPA drops more than 1 point at any grade check, the student will be asked to stay home for the following week to correct the situation.
