Our school population almost entirely feeds off the robotics team. Although, there is a reason for this.
In our school we have no regulated sports, music program, or anything that is extra curricular that can't be a club. Also, even if we wanted to support those types of things the school is non-UIL so to bad so sad.
So, that's were Robotics kicks in. In school we
are the football team, although we don't come with the attitude
. Last year, we were cheered out of the door on our way to championships. This year, I can't get people to stop asking about how we are or what we're doing. We also have complete access to our machine shop and have our own private field set-up (on the second floor where in the area no one can use).
We're pretty lucky, and we try to spread what we have to other local teams that need the support.
