Re: recruting advice?
102 has had this trouble in the past. We have found it very worthy, as some have mentioned, as bringing the robot to some event. If people see the robot, they will ask questions and you will give answers. I'm sure there is something in your area where you can show the robot to the middle school students as well as the high school students.
Also, working with your school is a MJAOR benefit. We had that problem.. with the school not working with us. But, we started to include the board of education in the weekly activities, invited them to the shop and all that and we were able to get a few times during the year to show the robot to the high school students.
Even getting the robot in some sort of parade would be awesome - MANY people will see it then.
These are just a few things 102 has done when we had difficulties getting members, and I must say, that it was really paid off because in 4 years, we have gone from a team in the mid teens (number wise) to a team around 40 this year.
