I know this might be surprising to some but our team has found a great way of getting people to join. Putting up fliers does bring in people, but not nearly enough to fill in the 50 ish that you guys need. Our team usually has around 30 ish people. But at the beginning of the year we have around 60. This is due to the fact that every year, a couple of our team members get dismissed early from their last hour class. They grab signs and stand in the halls. My sign this year said "if you *heart* robots" and there was an arrow pointing toward our work room (room 213). It might surprise you at how many people are waiting for rides after school and looking for something to do to occupy their time. What I would do is have the principle come in on the day which these "new recruits" come in and let him/her see the giant group you have. This will force him to give you guys some financial help. When presenting, you always show your team at its best. Hope this helps.
