Tuesday: 10/17/06 - First recruitment meeting

Tuesday we held our first big recruitment meeting to try and gather some more team members for the 2008 competition. We were pleased with the turnout and had quite a few promising students show interest in the project. We met in a lecture hall to show an 'inspirational' video and give a brief description of the competition and the teams goals, then led the group over to our lab to show them the cars up close and allow everyone to ask questions. We're aiming to compete in the 2008 competition, and we'll need a strong team to help build the car in time. We're hopeful that a large portion of the group will remain interested and dedicated throughout the year.
