It is hard to support a robotics team in this kind of environment without solid support. How do I know? Our school is extremely competitive as well, and I can somewhat relate to your situation. First thing is having a dedicated teacher mentor. Our teacher mentor is the person who really keeps this team up and running. Without him I don't know what we would do. Also, our team makes itself widely known in the school with flyers, advertising on the school announcements(be creative!), and recruiting on our Club Promo Day.

Also, do not hesitate to ask help from other teams, a lot of teams go through tough times, and other teams should be willing to help out. We propped up another school's team last year when they were on the verge of collapse, and now they are doing fine on their own.
