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

It's really frustrating, my school dosent seem to have "robotics" type people.
What exactly would you call "robotics type" people? I've never understood this from other teams.

The more you treat this or think of it as something not everyone can do or enjoy, the harder it will be for you to get more people involved.

Our school has very strong support for the team. The students in our school are very supportive as well and are always interested in regional and other competition results and ask how everything is going. We have a diverse mix of kids. All of the subteam captains for 2011 are varsity athletes (hockey, football, track, and soccer). Maybe we're just lucky enough to have a student body that doesn't care much for difference between "cliques" and everyone gets along with everyone. Where the popular kids respect the "nerds" and join them on the robotics team. Hell, half the time the jocks and popular kids are the most intelligent ones too.
