The problem is Administrators look for easy solutions. To them they may see it as a way of saving money, and they are just using the disciniplary action as a front for that. I feel my team would have been in a similar boat had we not been able to beat our rival schools in it. Unfortunetly, thats what it takes. You have to let them see the positives of the team, have an administartor come down and watch you guys build. Mention scholarships, and if you have any people persuing engineering.

The biggest thing I see which is sad, the only reason robotics is surviving while autoshop, woodshop, and metalshop classes are being shut down, is that robotics is seen as "white collar" enough. That is a tragedy! My family owns an auto repair, yet many high schools have no auto programs...

I know I rant too much...

Good Luck guys...
