Re: After Season Projects

(except for one girl, she has a boyfriend already), but HELP! So the other after season projects are going to definitely be fundraising.
Can we trade info? I'll tell you the amazing secret to getting more people on your team if you tell me what everyone left on your team is creating in the off-season. For example: Is there a specific project your team is going to market to get funds next season, like a machine developed to help out a person or business in your community?
Seriously, the only way I've been able to attract people to FIRST is by showing them what it is. You can't just go around telling everyone because there are some "Cool" people in the schools that really don't think FIRST is worth their time because "football is better." Try to get your message out across the town by making something useful for one of the public service groups, like the Police Station or the Fire Department. Sometimes you'll just get someone who didn't even know that the team existed.
That's how almost all of our members joined--word of mouth. I didn't know a thing about FIRST until the end of my freshman year, and I'm sad that I didn't know earlier.

Just to clarify: We're just working on putting together a site to showcase things that teams have made with spare parts and such. You may remember at Kickoff they showed a team that designed a contraption to help a guy in a wheelchair play Bocce so he could join the school Bocce team. We're looking for stuff like that, mainly.
I don't mean for you to stop posting about fund-raising ideas, because those are helpful too, but what we're looking for are the practical uses for old robot parts.

PS--What FIRST guy isn't cute? Take me for example... ;-)
