Experience promoting districts in Minnesota

[MrRoboSteve]

The availability of event volunteers lags the growth of teams by a couple years. For teams with a few years of experience, all of their volunteer effort (correctly) goes into building the team itself.

When I started, our team had just enough resources to field a robot. We've now grown to the point where we have enough adults and students to offer some people to the event to help out.

If you look at the Duluth events, 2/3 of the teams are newer than ours. They're on the same journey.

I hope the tone of this thread remains civil. The other threads, containing personal attacks on key volunteers who individually spend hundreds of hours a year working both with their team and volunteering at events, could easily hurt our efforts to recruit more volunteers.
