How do you deal with 60+ new members joining the team?

[Chief Hedgehog]

We just had our first all-call for robotics - and we had nearly 30 new faces in the seats. We only have 24 returning members. I know that some have gone through 'cuts' or build JV teams, but we are entering our 3rd season and I don't think that we could handle that many kids (we don't have the resources or the mentors) and cutting kids would bring in bad publicity for our program that is funded only through sponsors.

I would like to hear some more creative ways to keep kids involved.

THanks!
