Re: How much does your school's general population care about your team?
At my school, many people do not know about the robotics program, but those that do (mostly the classmates of team members) don't disrespect the program, in fact, they are often amazed by the differences between the stereotype image in their head and the reality. I find most people believe that we build a complicated robot to do some useful task or complete and obstacle course, and then we are judged and ranked in the style of a science fair. when i show them match videos and the sheer scale of participation, they seem much more interested. And then there are the kids that are so disappointed when I have to tell them that FIRST is not, in fact, BattleBots. I wish we had that kind of money....

Impossible is just a big word for small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
