My sophomore year, another student and I brought the robot to the cafeteria, set up a TV with some old videos, had some flyers to hand out, and sat by the trash can. That way, every student that went to throw away their tray caught a glimpse of the robot.

Bringing friend to meetings is a good idea, but I think this way we got a lot of students who were actually interested in joining to check it out, not just because a friend told them to.

Like Kristian said, word of mouth is the best way to get the name of your team out there. I dont know if your school does this, but make announcements over the intercom, have your friends talk it up on how robotics is "so amazing" talk about how you guys were national finalists! that will definately draw a crowd.

Between 2004 and 2006, our student number has climbed from about 20 students to over 60! Good luck, I know you can do it!
