We currently have about 20 people, so we're fine for this year but we are worried about our lack of replacements for our soon-to-be alumni.

Are there any suggestions as to how or where we could find more recruits?
Is your team just Monarch? What about inviting high schoolers from other schools who don't have a robotics team, like Team Blitz, they have home schooled kids, or the Blasterbots, they have kids from all over mid-jefferson county.
