Re: Recruiting

Zoheb N -
First of all you are doing a great job with this thread and trying to help your team. I think it is cool.
Second - I spoke with an '05 alum from 118 this Saturday at Mindstorms Mania here at UT. I asked her to explain your program to me. It is my understanding that 118 is comprised of team members from 3 schools and that you build at NASA. If I have any of this wrong, please correct.

Having a team made up of different schools poses lots of challenges and not having your build site on campus where students can drop by also poses challenges. I'm bringing this up so that other teams can see this and maybe offer suggestions as to how to deal with these constraints.

One thing we've done the past 2 years is have a car bash. We've found a local business that will donate the car and we charge so much to bash. This gets the word out that the team is fun as well as hard working. A key to this is promotion, publicity.
