Very slim, we were just able to compete in FRC the last few years. With the help of NASA and our new principle we were just able to make it. In terms of supporting the team, there is NONE what so ever. We try to get announcements made about meeting and other things, but it doesnt happen. Barely any teachers know who we are and its disappointing. Yes our team has its problems and we might not be the best in the school, but we get more out of what we do in FIRST then we would being in football or any other sport (even though we are a "varsity sport for the mind."

At the beginning our principle was supportive, willing to help us out with anything, but when everything started up, his support dropped. Our admin team knows who we are (because of some drama with the member) but they dont know what we do and how much it means to us. The teachers dont do anything, they hear us talk about it but they dont congratulate and ask how its going.

I am very fed up with the lack of support, not just here, but across the entire world (even though the subtle hint with Will.I.Am at the super bowl was nice) Yes, there are some teams that have LOADS of support, but there are the teams that are running out of a garage because of a lack of support and funding.

If anyone has any ideas about ways to gain support, please PM me
