Despite the fact that you don't care about what I have to say (since I'm a mentor), I'm going to offer you some advice. I'm probably wasting my time, but I'm in a giving mood today.
You say that you're trying to change the views of teams. It's a noble goal. Unfortunately, all you have done is make yourself look like a jerk. By coming on a forum, with Team 1718 in your username, you have now made Team 1718 look like a bunch of jerks. You complain about your team being overlooked in the past. Have you ever considered that it might be because of actions like these? If this is the attitude you bring forward at a competition, our team would most definitely ignore you. I mean, would you pick a team who had a member come up to you and say "I don't care about your opinion, you're just a <Insert noun here>". Each individual is a representation of a team, and a team is only as strong as it's weakest link. The attitude you have shown in your posts in this thread are what I would classify as weak.
Traits such as tact, courtesy and politeness go a long way in this world. A first impression isn't something you can make twice. Taking heed of this will serve you well in the future.
