Re: How to keep new students entertained?

Out of season my team has always fund-raised for the team, and has also held 'recruiting' days going out and doing charity events with the robot to show off FIRST.

Any event that had to do with engineering we've tried to become a part of to show the robot off.

At school we've held dances, contests and many ways to get other students interested in joining the teams.

Preseason is also a good time to review the past robot and what went wrong, and also to look for new drive train ideas used by other teams, and to train new team members and check up in software updates.

Also there are many pre and post season events to go to.
