Re: How does your team recruit students?

My team demonstrates the robots during the incoming freshman open-house. We also advertise in the facebook group for incoming freshman for our school. When the school year starts we post flyers around the school, and then we hold an interest meeting where we talk about all divisions.
It's usually wise to talk about how robotics isn't just for working with robots, it's for working with a team and working with awesome people.

Also, newbie retention is also very important. We get many newbies but many of them leave sadly.
