money
 

well our school did not recognize us for a while and they just started giving us money , along with the substandered bucket of jarbel they call an education.

Our school does not reconize us, they dont give us any space, yet we still have to follow the school activities rules. Oh wait I almost forgot. They do reconize us when we have to leave and go to a regional. They also take credit when we win but when we lose they deny us. Another thing is that this year they will not let us use the gym so it is very hard for us to try and have trials for our human player. Oh well just a lonely Senior in HS with an opinion that will never get heard!

Our school does not give our team money directly. Not only that, but we are a church school so finding major sponsors is difficult. Many potential sponsors have policies against supporting religious institutions.

But our school and church provide tremendous support in other ways. For example, they attend our fundraisers. They attend our local regional and root for us. In the past the church provided a place to work on the bot. More recently we have found better facilities through church members (not team members) who have gone out of thier way to help us. I don't even want to tell you about our current set-up, it would tempt you to covetousness.:D

Whenever I go to church I am constantly asked how the build is going. These people are not part of our team except in spirit. But they understand that we represent them in the arena and care about how things are going. They also understand the process because they heard it before last year and the year before that.

Last year we were on a regional winning alliance. The banner we recieved is hanging in the church lobby.

There is a kind of support more important than cash.
