Re: How to deal with lack of participation
Easiest way to get interest is to take your students to an offseason competition in the fall. Seeing a competition live for the first time is an incredible experience that always has people coming back for more. And assumimg you're already competing in said offseason event, a good thing to try is making a basic rookie bot that you have the new members build in the fall and compete with in the offseason competition. We did this back in fall of 2012 and got one of the biggest rookie classes ever.
