The purpose of this form is to allow upcoming members to test our team and for us to do the same thing.
Here is some basic team info you should know:
- Our team communicates using Discord and Google Drive
- Meetings take place at a house near Rice Middle School in Plano
- This is a private team (no school affiliation)
- In the summer our meetings don't always follow a regular schedule, but are typically a weekend afternoon and a weekday afternoon or evening
- During the competition season (after school starts) we generally meet Sunday afternoons and 1 or 2 weeknights
- Competition season starts in mid September and lasts until the world championship in April
- Our meetings usually last around 4 hours, but can be shorter or longer based on progress
7172 gets a lot of inquiries about joining our team, and we have specific needs/goals we are trying to fill, so we tend to be selective in membership. We use our summer and early season meetings and activities to evaluate potential new members for the team, and generally make our final membership and team roster decisions by mid-to-late September.
General requirements for all team members:
- Cost of $350 per season plus travel (North Texas and possibly events in Arkansas / Oklahoma / other)
- Must have a sense of humor
- Must like music
- Must be able to work with others
- Must be committed
- Must communicate outside of team meetings using team discord, google drive, and fusion 360
