Re: How much does your school's general population care about your team?

being a tiny school news travels fast. Everyone knows about our team but they know all the bad things that have happened the past few years, it has hurt our reputation deeply. Last two years we were stuck in a corner of the chem lab and had to clean up and bring everything up everyday. That was from the basement to the top floor 2 flights of stairs. Our school is not allowed to fundraise so they paid for our regional and gave us $300 to build last year. This year with a new faculty advisor we were able to get a real place to work a small room and we were allowed $1000 to build.

we are known at our school. The way we get our meetings known to members is by a weekly assembly that the entire school goes to. Next fall I hope to bring the robot to one in the beginning, (would have loved to do it this year but finals this week along with AP testing) Also bringing it out occasionally during lunch and driving around.

All in all the support from our student body along with administration has gone way up . The school knows about everything that happens with the robotics program, the bad and this year the amazing turn around.
