My team gets nothing from our school exept what we ' borrow'
I guess you could say the teacher that runs this is 'in' with the maintinance staff at the school because we occationally find a large piece of lexan just when we need it laying in the middle of the room.
The space and tools are only ours because we fought for them. If my school had it's way we wouldn't have anything but 3 computers and a 5 by 5 foot space for building the robot, or the tech sequence that takes place in that classroom.
All in all though it ended up being a good place for FIRST, no complaints about our workspace- but the school didn't reconize our existance untill we were front page news on the local paper (i got 3 letters in the next few days from school officials).
I don't think many schools out there do very much in the way of support, we almost couldn't go to NYC because of 'paperwork problems' (you all know the ones).
