Re: Having a Hard Time Getting Members Involved
We have "workshops" before kickoff every year, where we give everyone an introduction to the different technical parts of robotics - electrical, pneumatic, programming, machining... once they are introduced to these areas, they will feel much more comfortable asking for something to do.

Also, let them take responsibility for something on the robot, even if you are not sure it will turn out great. They can only learn from their mistakes, and if you help them along the way, they will not feel overburdenend. A successful result will encourage them to do more things on their own in the future.
