This being an election year I'm surprised more politicians on the Mainland aren't showing their support? Don't be afraid to ask them to come out and see what you are doing. Our local House Rep Clift Tsuji came out and then returned with the Majority leader of the State Senate and several other Reps to our school for a presentation on robots in October. We're going to start sending them updates regularly now. A lot of States are looking for STEM initiatives and FIRST is the superbowl of STEM. Its a fairly easy sell. Feel free to tell them what kind of support we're getting....maybe it will get them off their chairs when they hear their fellow politicians are involved in other States??
