Re: How much does your school's general population care about your team?
At team 662 our robotics team is district wide. Most people at my school don't even know that we have a robotics team. When I tell them about it they seem to think that it is battle bots or they seem to think that we are all huge nerds which is far from the truth. I find this is the main problem for kids not joining robotics. Do you all find that?
The district pushed us around alittle bit we didn't have a permanant build space for the first 3 years I was on the team. Now we have a good buildspace and they keep giving us money.
Next year we plan to do way more outreach to the middle and highschools so that hopefully more kids will want to join the team, as we lost alot of seniors.
