Re: For those of you back home...

I am just staying at home watching the webcast. We made an announcement to the team saying where they can watch the webcast, and encouraged them to check it out. But with testing coming up it is hard on some students.

As far as school recognition of Robotics goes, I would say that it all comes down to the team. Of course a school may not recognize a robotics team compared to a football team, because of the differences in revenue that the programs bring to the school. However we try to encourage robotics at our school by sending video and information to our morning news at school, and do presentations at local feeder schools. If you want to be recognized just set up demos at your school, and people will notice.
