Well, even though we are 2nd semester seniors by the time robotics rolls around, we still have other teachers and other classes, who have various levels of vitriol toward the program. I mean, I don't blame them. Some of us would be sleeping through class, not attending for competitions, falling behind on homework, and they knew it was because we were working on the robot til 2 am (we might be idiots taking AP classes AND robotics at the same time but that's another issue). As far as I know though, the administration was very proud of the team. It's probably more complex than just that.
