While it may be unfortunate thats kind of how life is. Awhile back my high schools girls basketball team won states and was nationally ranked. They had no more than 30 people in the stands for any of their games. They also had no special treatment. Our guys team was only second in the league and the gym was always packed for them.

All you can do is try to be the change that you want. People are not going to get hype about robotics just yet. Maybe at one point, but it sounds like your town like many others will just take time.
