Mission Statement: We aim to equip a community of students passionate about science and technology with the skills and initiative to become the next generation of leaders and create positive change in their respective career fields.
As part of my commitment to FRC Team #5763 I agree to the FIRST Code of Conduct, found at https://www.firstinspires.org/about/code-of-conduct, as well as the following:
(I) Leadership
I understand that the team leadership has final authority over all matters related to the team. I understand that leadership meetings are open and that if I have an opinion I should bring it to the attention of the leadership for consideration. Team leadership is responsible for establishing, organizing, and directing progress towards team goals, while integrating all members of their respective subteam.
(II) Gracious Professionalism
I agree to practice Gracious Professionalism in all my interactions with other team members, mentors, parents and other teams.
(III) Commitment
I agree to take an active part in the team. I agree to work hard, show up at meetings, be willing to learn and be open to new ideas.
I commit to good attendance and punctuality. Absences and tardiness may result in loss of team privileges. I agree to notify the team leadership in advance if unforeseen circumstances prevent me from meeting this commitment.
All team members are required to attend at least 80% of team meetings in order to participate on the Lightning Robotics Team.
(IV) Expectations
Team 5763 expects that all members behave maturely and professionally at all times and comply with the standards of Legacy High School. It is important that all team members remember that whenever they are engaged in a team-related activity, whether online or in person, they are representing Team 5763. Their actions will reflect upon the team, our sponsors, and Legacy High School. Team members should treat their teammates, members of other teams, and the general public with kindness and respect at all times.
I understand that the team expects me to contribute at the highest level of my ability and that in order to be an involved member of the team I understand that I need to make a commitment to spend a minimum amount of time at meetings. If at any time I have a problem meeting team expectations I agree to discuss with the team leadership in order to resolve the situation and ensure that both the team and I are benefiting from the relationship.
I agree to discuss my expectations for my involvement in the team with the team leadership. If at any time during the season I am having a problem with another team member or with the team, I agree to bring this to the attention of the leadership.
I understand that there are many skills required for a successful robotics team. I agree to work with the team leadership and the mentors to find a position that I find fulfilling and fun.
(V) Safety
I agree to comply with all safety rules posted by the team leadership without exception. Safety is everyone’s first priority and everyone needs to be looking out for potentially unsafe situations. Unsafe situations must be reported to adult leaders. Repeated unsafe behavior will result in dismissal from the team.
(VI) Eligibility
All team members must be academically eligible, as defined in the Legacy High School student handbook, in order to participate on the team and attend tournaments.
