How does your team recruit students?

[JohnM]

My team would like to recruit many more people (we are a pretty small team) for the 2015 season. We think we would like to begin recruiting in September when the school year starts again. My question is do you guys have any DOs and DON'Ts when it comes to recruiting. Also this is recruiting for students who will be elgible to be on a FRC team during the 2014-2015 school year, so basically high school students. Also what has your team done to recruit people, also what have you done to keep the new recruit on your team and keep them from getting bored and leaving before the competition season starts?

Thanks,
John M
