One advantage that FRC teams have over traditional sports is the emphasis on giving back to the community (unless I'm very much mistaken most high schools sports don't have anything like the Chairman's Award). If you are able to show your school administration that you are a great asset to the community they may in turn give you a greater amount of recognition and/or support (after all what you do reflects on their image as well.)

No offense as your advice is very sound. But...
We are a 13 year old team that has done exactly this for the last 14 years. We are the most respected program in the district. One of my points I didn't mention is that our team gets more in school support from our peers than it does from school administration. Its weird, yes. (You may not know much about our team) but we honestly (not trying to sound show offy) do really give our school admin a lot of brag about, they fail to brag about it in school though.
