Re: Help for Second Year Team
Just a few Ideas we have done or I have seen other teams do successfully...
Get out there in the school, and be part of the community.
The Pep rally is a great idea, but just be there for a short time. If you guys have a school flag or banner, simply zip tie it to your robot and drive around when people are cheering and other appropriate times.
Get into your schools talent shows and other school traditions.
Do a halftime demonstration at sports games, and maybe organize a raffle where the winner gets to have a "shootout" vs your robot from last year. If they beat the robot, they get their 50%, if not the team gets 100%. (make sure you follow all school and community procedures for this)
Our team has a mass amount of success from inspiring videos on the school announcements. (make them short and exciting)
Set up a safe area and let prospective members drive the robot.
Promote to your members about what they can get out of FRC and what you guys do. Promoting to prospective members is not the same as promoting to sponsors.
