I agree with Andy A...go out and recruit, especially from those clubs with already active people who show dedication but don't spread themselves too thin. I have very very little interest in science and engineering but I was recruited solely for organization/management since in was in student gov't. I will admit I learned a thing or two in the whold building process and I loved being on the team.

Girls can fill different niches in the team so its just a matter of going and finding them. There are a lot of girls on my former team's animation team and I really think they're gonna be awesome this year.

Also, if you do find girls interested in the design/construction part of the robot, make sure they feel included. I know a lot of guys on our team unintentionally shoved the girls out of that field or spoke to them in a rather condescending manner (could it be the male ego thing, I don't know!) and it really turned a lot of girls off and they all ended up in management with me. Hopefully this year things will change!
