Re: Now That school is in
At our school we don't get much advertisement for our team. -_-;; So, we try to make a big impression at our club symposium in late september. We rely a lot on the CAD students and so forth, seeing as the teachers that oversee the team are the IT teachers.
This year however, I am determined to hoard a bunch of the CIT (Specialty Center for Information Technology) students into being on the team. We had like 10 people tops building our robot last year, and I was the only programmer. We had 4 kids working on spirit and 7 on animation! I think it's ridiculous that our Center kids aren't encouraged from Orientation to be on the team. Most of them don't even know about FIRST!
Anyway, we try to recruit as many students as we can before Mid-October. That way the rookies can familiarize themselves with the team and the bot, and come January they'll be ready to hit the floor running.
