Re: Sustaining a FIRST Team
wow sounds so similar to us. What we did to fix our communication problems is we run by text messages. So lets say a permission slip was sent by email to everyone on the team. Headcaptains would find out from our mentor and the head captain will text their respective group to get it filled out. Now for the problem about not having popularity amoung students. What we try so very hard to do is to bring "SWAG" to robotics. We treat our robotics team as if it was a Highschool football team. What you could do is have a special guest speaker who is famous in your city come talk about school and robotics and how important it is. So for example if I was in Westminster, California I'd try to contact the winners of ABDC season 5 poreotics and show our robot to them and ask them to speak about how important it is to stay in school and follow your dreams but ask them to say something about how cool our robotics program is. But once again I speak for my own opinions only
