Team Hammond is not a technically a school activity in Hammond... we're sponsored by the School City and have a S.C.H. worker as our coach, but we are a joint effort of the 4 high schools in the city... very rival high schools i might add, which sometimes leads to those funny 5 minute snack room disputes... our schools give very little recognition to the robotics program for the most part. so when i put beatty machine in front of school city of hammond it was because the people from beatty machine put so much more time and effort into our program than the vast majority of the school system.
