When the higher ups have favorite programs and you aren't it, there isn't much you can do.

Is this the odd version of VEX you are referring to?

I agree, it does look weird.
Seems like you have an uphill battle, best of luck becoming the new favorites
Advice for all: Invite higher ups to both competitions and shop work-days. We had multiple board members sold on our program after they saw our students leading meetings and working together.
