Re: Community-Based Teams: How do you get your name out there?
We meet at a local university and have in general found it easy to get our team "out" in the community. At this point, when we go to a number of events, we've had people recognise us as the "robot team" because of our yellow shirts. A few things we've done to get our team and FIRST recognised in the local community:
- Go to local high schools with the robot to begin recruiting students.
- Worked with the local Rotary club as volunteers for their biggest event annually.
- Showcase our robots at the university's Open Day and Astronomy Open Night.
- RoboCamps, we see upwards of 200 kids each school vacation. All the advertising has really helped.
