We have all heard about teams involving students from different schools, but what about this thought for your highly interested school.

Is there any way to split off into two separate teams from the same school?

You say that your FIRST team receives a lot of attention. Milk it for all it's worth!! If you can split into two teams and have the same size team (26) but two teams of 26, then there is half your initial applicants right there.

The only problem I see with this of course is the money (and some logistics). You'll now have 2 Kits, 2 registration fees, travel for 2 teams. But, if you act as 1 entity when things like that come into play, and act as two separate entities when competition/build comes around then you should be good to go.

(Of course I say this now - not ever attempting something like this personally)
