Re: Haveing trouble passing on the torch

I've had the same problem recruiting new students into animation (sooo many buttons). This actually seems to be the problem with our recruitment situation as a whole - if we make an announcement to the entire school, we get 20 excess people that don't really care. My idea is to make visits to specific classes that might have interested students, such as computer science, AP physics, and industrial tech classes (We might have an animation class too - not sure how similar it is). The goal is to get people that actually have an interest in the different areas to join.

Unfortunately not many people take the whole animation thing very seriously, as I've noticed even after our relative success in the area. Of course, the robotics aspect comes first...
