But we are always open to new ideas and it's great to see what you've been able to do!

Oh, understood. That sounds rather fantastic! I hope all goes well in that endeavor and FIRST Robotics is embraced as a core academic program!
It makes sense though: You have a school where it can be made critical and embraced, and therefore have no need for a warehouse off campus like us. Meanwhile we have a school where this isn't likely, so we look for off campus spots.

Generally most of our Juniors/Seniors have a car and drive to school, so as soon as school ends (2:50 PM), most sophomores & freshman hook a ride with the upperclassmen and we take them to the warehouse. Otherwise, we've had parents come to school and pick kids up to take them to the warehouse. We struck lucky because it's just less than 10 minutes away from our school.
