Hi, I'm not a mentor, I'm just a team member but my team (2996) have had a similar problem in that we had too many new and inexperienced members and not enough for them to. We created an FTC team that served as a JV team to our Varsity. If students needed to learn new skills or couldn't make the time commitment they were recommended to join the FTC team instead of the FRC. This way we still managed to keep our students busy, and maintain a steady new member flow to both teams. I don't know if this is feasible for you guys, because you said that you had a tiny shop, but maybe you could organize different time schedules?
