get your team linked up with the grade schools in your district and bring a couple of your robots to these events (running if possible). Its a great way to give younger students a look-ahead to high school - and also a great hook for FLL and the VEX program.

In Rochester, NY (back before we had a regional here) several local teams use to have expo matches at the county fair in the summer (in a domed exhibition building). This resulted in new teams being formed in the area, and engineers joining local teams.
We do that, i believe in april the middle school next to us has a math, science and technology fair. we went to it last year and have been invited again. although if we make it down to atlanta, we'll have no robot
