Re: Robotics Teams in a Nutshell

Use it to recruit new members. A few years ago, we were at an event where we were letting the incoming freshmen at our school drive the robot, but the robot was tethered, so when one freshman drove forward too fast, it pulled the computer of the table, knocking some trophies into the floor and breaking them. The story goes that she felt so bad about breaking our trophies that she joined the team. She is now one of our most dedicated and valuable members of the team. The moral of the story, we decided, it's that we need more people to break our trophies.
