While I am glad to read we are not the only team that has issues. I have a few ideas that our team is doing. Last year was our rookie year, with about 5-6 dedicated members, and we knew we could not "take it to the next level" without getting more students involved.

I took students with me to the 10th Grade English teacher in our magnet program. She just happens to do Lego Robotics in her technical writing class. We took the robot down, as well as some students and gave a presentation.

We also put up posters, advertised on the school annoucements, and had a booth at club rush.

To get support from the school, we tood the adivsor to SGA with us to a regional, and now she is hooked. She has a lot of contacts within the school, and really wants to help us out.

We are also hosting a post-season competition this year in November and are donating 20% of our profits to the school for the Principal to use at his discreation.

There is a large amount of PR that has gone to making us grow, but it can be done. I wish everyone a lot of luck in all of their endervars.
