Re: Breaking the Geek-FIRST Bias
I don't think any one technique is going to help you recruit people. If you want to get a particular involved, talk to them, be friendly, and find out what they are interested in. That way, you don't waste his or her time, and possibly turn them off to robotics. Try to think like he or she would, what would he or she find interesting?
Though by numbers, our team is largely people who volunteered without knowing much about our team, many of the key and most active members were personally recruited.
