Re: How does your team recruit students?

The idea is that by January, they should be skilled and ready to be a competitive team, without having to learn anything new during build season. This year, we had about 4X the number of applicants we can accommodate, so the early recruiting has allowed us time to form plans to start a Vex team.
For recruiting, we did a demo at lunch time in the school amphitheater area, we put a flyer in every classroom, run a week-long notice in the school bulletin, and send our students to visit math, science, art, and programming classes to give a short talk about the team.
