We Are trying to do community Service, but really we've only managed to do two things community service wise.
1.) The Lego Robotics with the younger kids we had members act as judges
2.) A Homeless blanket and jacket Drive that were getting kicked off.

Any Ideas?
Some Guidance?
That's a very good start.
You could try Habitat for Humanity.
Help feed the hungry at a Homeless Shelter.
Assist with the local food basket.
One thing you want to do is try not to look like you are doing this just to get the Chairman's Award. You need to make these activities part of your team structure and they should be used to spread the word of FIRST to others.
You could help start robotics teams at other schools. Help mentor rookie FIRST teams in your area. Get your school more involved with FIRST and if you guys are REALLY ambitious you could try to start an off season event or a pre season scrimmage.
And demos. Lots of demos.
