Havent read the full thread yet due to time limits, so sorry if this is redundant. if you want your community to get to know you, you have to be
everywhere. Outreach is so important for recognition, and it can be hard to do with a small team, unless you have a few members who are very dedicated. Our team goes to a local fair & parade every year, is at orientation, gets on the announcements around the time of our first open meeting, brings the robot to lunches, and uses word of mouth to spread the word of our team, and of FIRST. Winning helps too: whether it's a quality award or a blue banner, something you can show off in a classroom or trophy case is a constant subtle reminder of your existence. once you're known, it is far easier to inspire.

That could be a good idea
