What does your school think of robotics?

Yeah, I get that a lot too. At the beginning of the year I asked a bunch of my friends to join, and that's exactly what they said. But now that I've explained to them all the things they could do in robotics, I think a lot more may be trying to join next year.
With the students at our school, a bunch of them have no idea what robotics is. Well, they may have a smidgeon of an idea from the school paper, but I don't think they really get it. The teachers give us a lot of support though. I think all the kids who are on the team have a bunch of their friends on the team too, so we all kind of hang out with each other all the time. Although, we do get called nerds at school, but it's always in a joking manner. We call each other nerds all the time too, but we all know we love each other. Even if we weren't friends to begin with, we ended up becoming friends from spending so much time together for robotics.
