Re: What does your school think of robotics?
Our team is known in the school, mostly from the science teachers, and a few other teachers, but most of the student body considers the team "geeky" or "nerdy". We do better than our football team who seems to only win one game a year, yet, the football team gets more respect from beating our town rival, than when we beat 10 or 20 other teams. We work really hard, but the only people we really get recognition from out of the school is the janitors that we've made great friends with, and the teachers. After each competition, we'll put something on the announcements that'll say that we went and competed at such and such a place, and how we placed, but that's about. We've altered our very narrow display case so there's pictures of all 10 robots, and some of our trophies, and its in front of the library, so its hard not to miss it (plus its pretty bright, yellow sticks out). But the main feeling about it is either wow, how can I join, or wow, that's real lame. It's a hard thing to explain to someone (and not have them look at you like you've just spoke in a foreign language to them) and have them completely understand it, and get excited about.
