Re: School Regcognition

I definitely see what you mean about not having enough recognition. The team I am currently on is a combination of 3 different schools, all being in the same area. From each school we have about 9-10 kids (28 students on the team total).

When I tell people at my school I am on a robotics team and going to competition in another city, they do the whole "We have a robotics team" bit. Our school recognition (at my school at least) is so terrible that when I was searching for an extracurricular activity through my school guidance counselor I had a list of the school activities printed online and I asked him about the robotics team, and where do they meet. He looked at me and said "We have a robotics team?"

So something that may be looking into would be reaching out to other schools, trying to recruit more members. If we were only one school we'd be in the same boat as you guys.
