School Regcognition

[SenorZ]

Our team has silent support and recognition on our campus. People say, "Oh, that robotics team is neat. Wait is it like battlebots?"

I've invited (as a teacher) my admin to visit our meetings. I think I've had one visit, and it produced a, "Wow, great job guys!", and nothing else.

We've done pep rallies and Club Rush events, and it pulls in a few kids who stick around.

In the end, FRC is a complex, complicated, and difficult looking activity... and looks are NOT deceiving. FRC is for a select few dedicated students who can balance their coursework, robotics, and family/social life well. Large public events are decent at gaining some attention, but student members talking to others on campus, face-to-face, is the best way to increase exposure.

[just think, do you really know that much about what the football team does everyday based on a pep rally? or even going to a game? Not really]
