I hear ya on that one. All we get from our school administrators or our school board is a handshake and a weak "Thanks". In previous years, we have gotten some monetary support, but we will be going your way soon, QC648, since our district just found out that they have a nearly $3 million deficit from consistent over-spending. You would think that the most successful team in the entire district would get a little more recognition

Other than that, most of the kids in my school know that we exist, and a lot of them joke that we are a "cult" because we spend so much time together. Who wants to go out with friends on a weeknight anyway when you can spend the night at school and play with robots the entire time?
