Re: Robotics Class

We're not in your area, but my class is in its 4th year, centered around FRC of course. It's becoming more popular in schools, primarily because of teachers involved with FIRST and carrying that message to school boards. Out here in NorCal many high schools have an Academic Decathalon elective class, so it seemed easy to then have a robotics class centered around a competition - unfortunately Academic Decathalon is much cheaper to run and we now fight over the students we recruit (something you don't usually consider in schools these days - but a neat trend).
