So i understand where your coming from, wanting to work, but you have to look at it from a legal stand point. Also when our team runs into this situation, we usually just take the bot to someones house.
Believe me Jim, I understand where they are coming from. Here is the problem though: they are stopping us from doing what the building is there for in the first place! They wouldn't be at the school if there were no students, so the legal side is a good point to their argument, but learning should come first. Why? Because a school is built to teach. I think that people let these rules and laws get completely out of control. This is just my opinion though.
