Re: Now That school is in

At my school, our team is mostly technology students. Any flyers or banners about the team are over down in the Technology Department "cave" where nobody goes.

Otherwise, we recruit by word of mouth, we bring the robot in a local parade, and have some morning annoucements in school around October.

We also do a display in one of the glass showcases with pictures, our awards, buttons from other teams, and our banners. The only problem is that we don't put that up until later in the year.

I've always thought it would be a great idea to somehow showcase the entire robot for everyone to see when they walk down the hallway. People that know nothing about FIRST or robotics would see the robot and may become interested. Even if someone is not interested in joining the team, they'll see how cool the robot is.
