Re: Recruiting
tD,
Putting on a recruiting exhibit using the 5th Gear Match Simulator (to be released soon) might bring in a few folks.
It can give them a sense of the fun and complexity (in a good way) of the challenge.
Just remember to tell them that someone usually needs to turn the expensive KOP into a real robot, in addition to having fun with the simulator. 
Take a look here: Link to recent 5th Gear discussion
and here: 5th Gear discussion with links to other FRC simulation threads Blake
