Thanks for the advice so far. We don't really have a dedication-problem per say. We get 90% attendance on a 50-person team and we're even a little ahead of schedule this year. I really want to push our team to the next level though and start building a team that is consistent every year, and that each group of students feels that they've left behind a legacy.

Particularly, I'd like to get some advice from those great mentors out there that seem to inspire their team to greatness. Some of these posts have given me the idea to have a "FIRST Tutorial" for about 20 minutes each meeting. I can talk about some of the great other teams, talk about our team's history, teach them how to act at competitions, inspiring FIRST stories, etc. What do you think? I'd be happy to post a curriculum online once I finish outlining the first few weeks of this.

Thanks again for everyone's help so far!
