Re: How do I get more recruits for next year?

how to recruit people?
that's a question our team faces every-year, and a hard question as well...
in my opinion, the best way is to just go to people that you think may be interested in joining the project, and talk to them, make them come to a meeting or two!
another way is to demonstrate the robot in the school (like people have posted before me)

the way I am going to recruit new members to the team is by telling them what was my position when i just started the project, let them know how clueless i was, and how it has changed, that you really don't need any prior knowledge to join a robotics team (unlike the stereotype that you have to be smart in order to build a robot) and let them them know that there is a lot more to do then just "building a robot" in a robotics team ( like applying to different awards, website design and etc'...)!
i am just planning on sharing my experience and ask them to come and try it...
