Arefin - from SigamC@ts is right....the way to go is ...interest your administrators...which means involve them...let them drive the robot......go to the competitions......have parents talk it up with people. Because...what do parents of "jocks" do...talk about their child's achievement.....so why can't "robotic" parents do the same??????? As a teacher......in my open house speech....I talk about how robotics has influenced my children's academic careers.....and it is amazing how many parents do not realized the potentials of being involved in robotics........visibility helps you achieving your goal....tell your parents to talk it up.......and ask administrators to consider giving your team letters.
