We are having the same problem. We started off with a team of 80+ people, 1 teacher and 1 mentor. Now, we're like 6 to 8 people depending on the day. All our public relations people quit. All our finance people quit. All our webdesign and animation people quit. In the end we were left with a very very small core team who had to do the entire project. So we found ourselves spending some 60hrs/wk (or more) during the 6 week period. With school and homework and robotics, I didn't get very much sleep at all during the six weeks. I would've loved to have a website or animation. Our core members are capable but there's just so much to do for 6 students and 2 adults.

People signed up to the team thinking they could come in play around with the stuff and leave at 4pm or eariler (less than an hour after class). Now, we're having a hard time finding people interested in the team next year. 5 of the 6 people on the core team are graduating. Due to lack of PR, our finances are down to nearly 0. Anybody else ever experience a similar problem? All our grads are really commited though, we're all willing to come back to mentor next year.
