Re: Team recruitment techniques?
The best advice I can give you is to invest in your community-- start a feeder FTC or FLL team, or help an existing one. High school sports have little league teams, and a larger amount of programs for younger students helps build your team towards sustainable growth. Plus, kids coming out of FTC, VEX, or FLL competitions already used to some of the concepts of competitive robotics-- making them better team members once they're in FRC.
A tree needs roots to grow large and strong-- FRC teams are no different, however they choose to put down roots.
