Re: What to say at a new member meeting?
For those with a relatively small team, we started by standing in the front of the room and each person giving their name, year, years on the team and a few things they liked about Robotics. This makes the team seem much more approachable, and lets the newbies know the team as actual people, rather than aloof veterans. Some of my friends and I are still shy and quiet after all, and would rather be approached than go up to a newbie and ask questions.
The rest of our presentation was a PowerPoint with photos of welding, competitions, and last year's Yearbook Photo (even though they left us out!). We also showed some videos from the robot's point of view. These tend to interest people even if they originally looked for Battlebots.
