Some of the juniors are on the academies business teams and they document the competitions, do appearal, or do other none robot building things so the team can focus on building the best robot possible .

FIRST Robotics Represents the work force and does a great job doing. I know TONS of Engineers in the work force who do not directly work on the physical building of a system. There are so many things involved in running an Engineering Department. I would hope that Los pueblos considers this when getting rid of the program. Engineering comes in a variety of forms. Read my post above. I know there are a lot of great opportunities for the administration to consider the team running outside of the school day. This is done all over the country and there are many examples to follow in this.
