Thanks, everybody, for such great suggestions. I didn't think I would get so many responses so quickly!
indieFan: You have a really great idea, the one where you make two teams and then put them together...But the problem with that is, I never know which people will show up to a meeting and which ones won't. I don't want to make one person head of the "chassis team" if he/she's going to be at an orchestra rehearsal after school instead. I think band/orchestra is the main thing pulling kids away from the team. That and anime. But I'll try it.
I think the closest team to mine is about 30 miles away. I'm not sure though.
My team has already been to Cal Games, and we were at RoboNexus. I don't see why they're not excited about this. They've all seen FIRST in action. I'd hate to be a strict leader and have members log hours but I might have to.
Does anyone think a lecture would work? =\
Like if I spent a lunch-time meeting telling them what I expect out of them and what they're missing out on?
You all have really great ideas. I'll take them all into considersation! *hugs everybody*
