As a "thirteen year parent" I think you should try to rerecruit some of the parents that have helped in the past. Often times, good people just need to be asked. If you invite them for a alumni night and get them to start talking about the good times, you might find more than one of them willing to help and they may just bring a few others in with them. If they helped once they may have talked up the program with friends, relatives and coworkers who might be interested but have no high school age children. Look also to the FLL parents and mentors in your area. If you can get them when their children are young, they might be will to stay around. You should find every chance to show off the robot in public and try to publicly recruit professionals who might see the robot. Finally, if I can help from afar, I am as close as a PM or email and on occassion a phone call. I have lot's of ideas and at least some of them are good.
