I know that our team has a minimum time commitment, other wise you can't go on trips (new this year, and has made more people come) also, you have to make things fun and get kids moving, working and doing things. Having kids work and then see the final result (the robot, or the arm or the base something that moves, that natured stuff) really makes them feel special, especially new kids, now on my 3rd year, i know whatever i do in the machine shop will make the robot work, so as you get older you don't mind putting wheels together or simple stuff, versus the rookies putting the arm together, seeing a end result really helps, although the required time makes them come in the first place.
