Re: Recruiting Programmers

Certainly you need to recruit from any computer science classes, but it looks like you need to make programming:
(1) exciting and visibly so to the external observer.
(2) an active element of the design process from day 1

At the championship, Team 302 presented our Virtual Robot System (VIRSYS) which could really help you out on these two points. We expect that on the recruiting side, it will pull in students interested in software from a video gaming perspective. That could be huge.

We'll be releasing everything shortly, so look for that thread somewhere here within the next week or so.
