Re: How much does your school's general population care about your team?
I think our school recognizes us. I mean, we work out of an old guidance room right now (right next to the nurse's office) and our coach's classroom and we might not have the most space or the most resources from our school but we are definitely recognized by the staff, students and personnel. We're the kind of school where people go to football games for the marching band. Our sports teams just aren't that good and everyone in the area knows it. It isn't uncommon for the school athletes to congratulate us and ask about our team. Many of the members of 1089 are known for being in robotics by students, teachers, janitors, you name it, and everyone knows we have a team. Mr. Gregory, our coach, and the team members never stop talking about robotics and Mr. Gregory has shown the game animation in his classes and has been known to give extra credit for attending regionals and writing a paper on them.
We have our Chairman's banner hanging in our cafeteria where everyone can see it and we frequent the display cases in the main hallway. We get announcements when we get back from competition and all of our teachers know about the program one way or another. But we are everywhere in our school and our community, for example an Iron Man 2 robot demo yesterday and today, and we make sure you know about our team.
