How to keep new students entertained?

I am the lead mentor / Instructor for the RoboNinjas, team 3195. This is only my second year of running this program for the school and would like the input of veteran team members, as well as fellow mentors and instructors on this subject:

- How do you keep your students entertained during the pre-season?
Mind you, this is only our second year so we do not have that much in the way of funding, or in the way of previous robots to let the new students build with. What do you suggest as activities to get them involved with robotics and keep them actively engaged (aka - NOT BORED!)

Thanks,

Jason
Lead Mentor of Team 3195
