We have BunnyBots from September through December, and while that's not FTC, we think it's a better way to get new members up to speed for FRC in the fall, since they're building FRC-class robots instead of FTC robots. Nothing against FTC, it just makes sense to build an FRC-class robot when you're trying to learn how to build an FRC-class robot.

One thing to add to your original list - outreach. I see that you have marketing and fundraising on there, but I think outreach falls outside of that - marketing is about advertising your team and making it sound as good as possible to outsiders, fundraising is about funding your team (duh), and outreach is about getting out into your community and making culture change happen. That might fall under your definition of marketing, but I think it's worth clarifying - there's a difference between the two, and both are important for becoming a better FRC team.
