Check out our school,
98 percent hispanic
99 percent on federally assisted lunch programs
for 99 percent of our students, the teachers are the only people with degrees they know
we raised all of our money through fundraising.
The school is located in the highest crime rate location in the state
We have no machining capabilities at all accept for hand tools.
Our schools location is as such that there are no business or companies within a distance that we can get support like many teams do
But we don't let all this stop us, because we have desire, and the bottom line is, it is not baout the bots, its about the experience and the changing of the culture that promotes science and technology.
Our community need it!!!!
If you can build all your own stuff, great for you, maybe one day we will be able too.
In the mean time, we did not let our status hold us back.
We have competed in the MATE National ROV Championships against universities like MIT and we are the current National Champions!!!!
