(Sorry for the long intro)

In the past weeks, I've been talking with my team friends at school and I thought that they wouldn't think of talking about FIRST, but surprisingly, they did, and I have the feeling that they want more participation, more meetings, more fun and I want to give it to them soon. But how? What kind of stuff can we do?

My team had this issue too during build. Next year we're going to delegate more and do team building activities like mini competitions. During the 2006 offseason we prototyped a custom mecanum drive which was fairly successful, and the new members had fun driving it around
