The kids that know about us are either friends with a team member or a tech student. I guess those kids think it's kinda neat, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the school (we have about 3000 students grades 9-12) isn't really aware of the team. My French teacher likes to call our school the Shenendehowa Country Club because of how centered the school is around sports. All our school money is poured into sports, especially football. It's pretty ridiculous that football (not swimming or crew, etc) gets a lot of funding while our robotics team just gets payment for substitutes when the teachers need to go to competitions.
And it's not like the administration shouldn't know anything about us - we've been involved since year 1 and we've always done pretty well, but I think most of the administration has only heard about us in passing. No one has ever bothered to come see us compete (except the tech department chair).

...yep.
