Girls..
I havn't read through the 3 pages, so i may be repeating what someone else has said.
Get a picture of a guy and a girl from your team. Get a picture of your robot or other teams bots. Photoshop, Photoshop, Photoshop Make yourself a little FIRST ad and post it throughout your school. I'll give a sample at a later time when I can get it hosted somewhere. Basically, get something out there that will tell girls 'hey, join FIRST, it's not just nerds' and you have a good chance of getting people. (Guys, too)

AHHH!!!
I'm back at last, and wow I have a lot of cathcing up to do... First off, and this is just my personal experiance, you don't need girls on your team. You don't need boys on your team either. What you need are people who have dedication, and can help the team with their skills and willingness to learn. I would'nt "target" women just for the fact they are women - THAT, I think, defeats the purpose. Robotic is defityly for both sexes, and once you have chick or 2 on your team, it grows exponentially. Of course, if you *really* want to attract cheerleaders, put out a flyer promising a free 8x10 glossy photo of Harrison for all participants.  I am serious.

Cheerleaders?...
Why do you guys want cheerleaders on your team? Other people can have just enough spirit and looks as them...

LOL!!!!!!!
Cheerleaders! We used to smuggle in several bags of those large sized marshmallows into the assemblies and quietly pass them around. Then we would pelt the airhead squad with our fluffy little white missles while they tried to do their cheers in the middle of the gym. We were soooo bad! I wonder if it's still a tradition at my old High School. P.S. All the smart girls were on the flag/drill team. Maybe you should look there.

Not all cheerleaders are smart and not all of them are interested in Robotics if you haven't noticed. So in other words, not an excellent choice. You're better off getting those actually INTERESTED in Robotics.

I was seriously thinking that you could ask some of the girls on the robotics team to join...but then I remembered that that was the point. Hey. I'm allowed to be stupid on weekends.
Our flag/drill team are just cheerleader-wannabe's  They want to be cheer leaders, they just lack the morale or something. Muah.

The instructor coach was this awesome guy who had come from (I think) Lincoln High in San Jose. Five of us who were senior team members were ASKED to join the Velvet Knights drum and bugle core. No audition was necessary. Some of the cheerleaders even quit thier squads to join us. I guess every high school has a different social make up. Last edited by Amber H. : 05-10-2002 at 22:42.

Our drill team doesn't exist and our flag girls are only there b/c they didn't make the step team or band...
Don't get me started on cheerleaders...

Like I said; Every school is different.
I can remember some news report coming up on CNN a couple of years ago about cheerleaders getting scholarships and stuff for college because they were on these top national squads that worked really hard and were disciplined. The girls over at Valley Christian (San Francisco Bay Area) were supposed to be a team like that. We had one girl transfer over to our school who had been on their squad and was really disappointed with the condition of ours. She was really nice and tried to help them out and motivate them, but they just sort of ignored her. It was sad.
