Re: How Do We Approach Our School For Robotics Letters?

I would just ask, maybe have your lead mentor approach at first, and see where things go from there. With my old high school team, we did not receive letters for the first several years, then our lead teacher realized how much work goes into this sport/activity and approached our administrators. After going over some guidelines (i.e. all team members need to sign the code of conduct and setting participation requirements for earning a letter) we got approval and were able to start giving out letters to deserving members. The absolute worse they could say is no, but odds are if other groups hand out letters already such as forensics, drama, and so on, you should have an excellent chance at convincing your admin. that you deserve letters as well. Good luck and let us know how things go.
