Re: Recruiting

Drive the big, scary robot around at lunch. Let people try it out. Tell them YOU built it.

Then... while all the interested people are crowded around, go find the people looking from a distance, and go let them know that they too could build a robot. Something they can learn. Get the people on the edge - who might not even think engineering is something they can do.

OK - I made that up - we have the opposite problem. Money, Space, and Adults for one team, students for 3. But it should work.
