Re: Way to get kids to join a team
Oh, let 'em drive the robot. That's by far the best way to get kids interested. Set up a table during lunch or clubfest or whatever you find most suitible with a display including pictures, video, handouts, a person to answer questions, and a signup sheet. Not too far away, set up a station to allow the kids to drive the robot (monitored by an experienced member with a kill switch). Pick your most crowd-pleasing robot, and have a playing object or two to mess around with. Soon enough, you'll have a crowd of people around you, tons of kids screaming in your ear to drive the robot, several new members, and a headache.
