Re: Recruiting Slogans

Now that the season is starting to wind down, many of my teams are dropping back to recruiting activities again for the summer "fun robotics activities", and next season's team.

We are definitely still looking for more good recruiting slogans, that have worked for your team.

As a change of pace, one of my teams has said they are going to try out a "Want Ad" campaign at the school, for "filling jobs" (like "Webmaster Wanted, Will Train", etc.). They are trying to NOT mention FIRST, Robotics etc, in them this time around. They want to see if their previous campaigns were running up against some "unknown social bias" against Robotics, FIRST, or the team in general (like the old "IF you join THOSE guys, then WE won't consider you one of us Cool Kids anymore" peer pressure thing)... Sounds like a good experiment to me!

But, we need some good slogans for THAT too. So if you have any GENERIC recruiting slogans that have worked for your group, I would also be interested in hearing them.

Thanks!
