Re: Getting Robotics Recognized as a State Sport
I'm actually really surprised nobody has yet said this, so I will.
Connect first with your Regional Directors and Senior Mentors for your state. Chances are they have the resources, the connections, and the 'pull' at a higher level to help make a statewide effort. In some cases, they may have started the process already. Their entire job is to make FIRST big in your region, and to help the teams around them with what they need - so sync up with them!
Join up with other teams around you, and with your region's FIRST representatives (in your case, FiM) and make this a big, collaborative effort by teams across the state. One team making a little noise in their own school district is nothing compared to tons of teams in the region working towards the same goal, as one unit.
