Unfortunately what happens on most fsae teams is that the dead beats cause so much delay, the lead guys end up taking on more responsibility than they already have. Any fsae captain (or system lead) could tell you this.
The fact is that these people are just simply not the motivated, and most importantly, dedicated type like we are...hence why they are not in charge. I can tell you right now that none of the dead beats contribute to the forums either because it requires effort. They also seem to know everything about everything as well.
That being said, bribing doesn't work, but neither does cutting back their privileges. You can't give them MORE privileges either. I think the best way to go about it is to sit down, AWAY FROM THE SHOP with said dead beat, and have SEVERAL people confront the person...this way its not just coming from "the boss."
Good luck, I've been in this situation before and it's never easy. Remember, only dead fish swim with the tide ;-)

Definately agree with you. The most dedicated guys on our team are the two (myself and our Chassis Team Leader) that went to the 08 comp. We'll be taking the entire 2010 team with us this year.
And I HATE that our school bases this on credit. We're in the process of forming a 3-4 year "club" with senior project credit at the end...The more experience the students get the better! This would also form a more closely knit team throughout several years of working side by side.
