Number 1, congratulations on almost doubling your team size in one year! That's totally impressive. Now onto ideas. The best way for PR is to try to get the local businesses involved. Use something that will get them publicity at the same time, while making them look like the good guys. Something like a dinner (Halloween costume ball?) would be a great way to get the local restaurants involved, asking them to donate or give food for a reduced price. This helps in both the PR and fundraising departments, getting publicity through selling tickets, and fundraising by charging so much a plate, or however you choose to do it. That's the best advice that I can give you, other than have a blast. As I'm sure you realize, FIRST is a great thing and a lot of fun, and getting into something is the best way to have fun at it. Good Luck!
