Re: What does your school think of robotics?

We have growing support at our school, but it's very recent. We do not receive any kind of monetary support from our school, the main thing we get is a place to build and keep stuff. We have a good amount of teachers that help us by staying and "watching us" during build season (we have to have a district employee at all times to be working there) that way our main sponsor doesn't get completely burnt out.

Prior to last year, very few people knew about our team (even though last year was our 5th year), but we did fairly well at regionals for the 2nd time, and the Principal came down and saw us compete. We got to show the robot off at a pep rally last year, and at club day and a state-wide student council assembly this year, so we've become alot more recognized this year.

We do get somewhat labeled geeks and nerds, but alot of people think are robots are pretty cool, so it's not in a bad sense, more in a "we know alot about technology" sense.
