Re: Starting New Team!! Need Help
Congrats! One of the biggest things to drive home to them is "this is for you guys". As an alumni, you probably remember how hard it was your first year and how rewarding it was when you finally got to competition.
Personally, think about this one; we had a hard time recruiting kids (3rd year team) in our second year because day 2 we zombied our 2011 bot, and only 2 of the kids had been to competition. I would personally talk about the difficulty and the commitment, but make sure they know that hard work is for something.
Hope that helps you out!
