Along with bringing to robot and a few team members to talk about it, I would recommend explaining how FIRST benefits this years generation of teenagers. Emphasize the fact that the teenagers who are involved with FIRST are the ones that will be keep our technological level at its finest. I would imagine that mentors would like to know that they are helping out students with the field of engineering to prepare themselves for college. Mentors want to know that they are helping teenagers pursue a career in engineering. The teenage generation will be the ones "driving tomorrows technology". To me, that would be a strong point in grabbing the attention of a mentor, and inspire a mentor to help out.
