The greatest way to get lots of team members is to put something in one of the schools newsletters that go to parents and right the word SCHOLARSHIPS in big bold letter. j/k. but it would work.

Start a farm team...err...FLL team. Get them excited when they are young and build a productive flow of new members.

Bribe them...trips, food, all the caffeniated beverages you can drink, and driving robots...what more could you want.

Show them what it is like. Competitions are the most amazing part of the program but hard to explain and show people what they will be devoting all this time to. My best explanation is telling them to imagine putting a couple thousand engineering minds people into one room. We all know engineering types are a little .....well you know, strange. Put this all together and it builds a fun and exciting competition.
