I found the easiest way to talk to and meet people at A Robotics Competition is to well, talk about Robotics. Usually if you walk up to someone and ask about their robot they'll be more than happy to talk to you for some ungodly amount of time and tell you why it's so great. From there you can always move into other subjects or whatever.

Or you could just jump into a random game of Ultimate Frisbee.
