Thanks

You're asking the wrong question. Instead try thinking about "How do school systems justify the cost of FIRST?"


With our school boards we go to the meetings where they put our trip approvals on the agenda, we show up with our team shirts on so they notice us, and by showing up it shows them that we care and we would like approval and they give it to us. And to sanddrag a lot of schools don't have to justify the cost of FIRST because they don't give any monetary support to the teams. I know RAGE for one gets no support monetarily from any of our 5 schools. Rockville High School does however allow us to build at that school.
