The Kaynor Tech students (now grads) still stop by once in a while and help out where they can.
Just think how RAGE (or other multiple school based teams) would look like if their school's administration was as closed minded as ours.  |
Yeah actually 237 is how I got into robotics. We did a reasearch project at Kaynor Tech on the Web, then I found Utitec does/did sposnor you guys (I work for them).. We had a small group of like 4 kids who we're interested in team 237 (all out of town students), but your board of education made the decison that we couldn't join (unless Kaynor paid some of the insurance, and that's just not realistic out of our school, we can't even afford to keep all our best and highest paid teachers). The Kaynor students who were interested do understand that the decison was made by above your advisors and it's not directly your team's call.
