Re: What does your school do for FIRST?

My team is inbetween the two. As far as funding, we are all privately sponsored, and as far as getting the word out, we're mostly on our own. However, we do get the support of some of the administration, the pricipal's daughter was even on a local FIRST team a few years ago. Also, we get the support of some of the maintenence staff and the industrial tech teacher gives us the woodshop afterschool for work, and the auto shop teacher lends tools. Not really one extreme or the other, though. Our first year there was virtually no support that I saw, we didn't have a teacher, we worked out of a student's garage, and the school administration didn't even have any idea where we worked, but this have changed, thankfully.
