Re: Expanding a Robotics team

I would suggest proving to people that there is a place for everyone on a robotics team. Each just has to find his or her niche. Try talking to students you think would be interested. Show what you do, and why you do it. The right words can make the difference. Also, be enthusiastic. Talk about it. If you express your excitement and dedication for it, chances are others will too.

Also, to help on the administration end, you should try to keep them updated on what you do too. Try to find some supportive faculty, and it can expand from there if you generate the interest and show all of the benefits of the program.
