Re: "Robotics" Team or Club

they always call us the Robotics Club...which upsets many kids on the team including me. we are a team. we work and we compete just like other teams. but the school doesnt seem to care. they give us no funding. we get excused absences for trips only. we can't leave school early and it be excused during build season (at my school. at the other school on our team they can because they have a robotics class last period...) it really bothers a lot of the kids. when we got back from the denver regional, they still havent announced that we went l;et alone winning the regional or getting the chairmans...so they dont really care about us...we dont have a trophy case or anything at our school or anything that even shows we exist so they definitely consider us a club. our picture in the yearbook is about 1-2 inches. they athletics each get a full page...not fair but c'est la vie. one must not create too much havoc at one time. we'll just be content being unrecognized until we do something great(an in FIRST, everything is great). then people can say they knew us back then...i think i strayed from the topic...oops
