college teams are interesting things... year-rounded-ness is hard to accomplish because people go home for summer and by definition, its a little further away than with a HS or a business... we've been ok at it. we make appearances and while we're not at 100% strength, we feel we represent fairly well.

drafting is definitely a tough part as well. my frosh year, the team was fairly hard to find, last year visibility went up as we changed things and this year is the first year we started things by appearing at the activities fair so i think we'll do well. retaining those people will definitely be interesting...

as for fall activities, we continue competing with the old bot in the post season events and doing demos and whatnot to increase our visibility along with training and helping of the new team members.

its hard but definitely doable.
