Re: Way to get kids to join a team
Well the way we get so many to help on our team is. We are from MA and we do the Florida Regional. We went for 11 days this year. Big selling point... DISNEY for 5 days and the regional for 3. We stay at the allstar resorts and then just bus over to the compition in the morining. I could see this working for any team that does not live near florida. And it only cost 500 dollars. Then our mentor uses curfew to get them loud in the stand. If they are not loud its 8pm curfew. If there average its 11:30 and if there very loud its 2am. The team after Friday got to stay out till 2:30 becuase we got an award. Then when we won saturday we got to stay out till i belive 3am.
Ill be honest. I first went to florida to go to florida did not give a a crap about the robot. Then when i saw the comp i was hooked. This is how we get most of the people who do a majority on the robot. Now i am hooked and sad that i am out of high school. But team 61 wont be around next year so it kinda works out. Stinks for the sophmores and juniors that are hooked
