We did that for the incoming freshman with last years robot, and yes, they were surprised, but think about it. Our school is more sports oriented. Would you think 500 kids are gonna go "ooh" and "ahh" and then agree that building a robot is a sport? It's like trying to explain to someone that NASCAR is a sport. They wont believe it until they do it, and doing that isint the easiest thing to do. I will give it a shot once we get a little further into the build season, have some stuff to show dedication and whatnot, but im not having the biggest of hopes with convincing the school.
On a side note, some info on what other teams did to convince their schools/states to consider it a sport would be wonderful.
