Based on that I would recommend if you have the money having a few preseason vex teams. With vex more people would be able to get involved and learn applical skills. My team has not personally done this as normally a project like robot improvements could involve everyone we would ever be able to get (we come from a small school) but many teams have had success with this method. Team 254 included.
