We have patches for our club and we can buy the same jackets and all.
Our basketball coach who coached the east last year in the McDonalds High School All-star game fully supports our team as well as our athletics director who is considered the best baseball coach in the state of Georgia. You gotta try and get some of the coaches on board with knowing about your team an appreciating your team.
These two bought into the idea because they realize how much time and work it takes to build one of these robots and they realize that when you compete, you represnt the school, your state, and even sometimes your entire country. Most FIRST teams put in as much time as some athletic teams at our school.
I think that if you can show your director how much work and effort you put into, you may have a really good shot.
