Re: What does your school think of robotics?
hehe. if it were that easy, you wouldnt be asking then!
frankly, our school as a whole hates us. the adminstration doesnt know what to do with us because we dont comply with all the standard rules for clubs and whatnot. yeah, thats right, we're the deviants. everyone else at school either goes "robotics? duhh...whats that" or "dude you build battle bots and destroy stuff?!" or "omg that must be so hard. youre weird." the computer science club supposedlly feels threatened by us those who appreciate us are those who have seen or experienced. those who have any idea what we actually do have respect--especially when certain individuals rebel against the system and hack the network (hehe...oops). unfortunate to say, only so much can be done with no support or help from the school. pretty stupid if you ask me. |

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
School: "o_o.... we have a robotics team?"
-_- yeah, that is the responce of a lot of people at the school. It's not because we don't advertise and support it... it's because people at our school is oblivious.... |

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
most of are people care more about our basket ball team than robotics. And yes, everyone thinks we are geeky or they don't even know we have a robotics team cause they tune us out when we tell them about it.

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
Most of the school hates the robotics team because we go on so many trips and we also got to fly on a plane to go to nationals. I just think they're jealous and they don't have the commitment to join robotics. Oh well, their loss.

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
After a brief survey I have made a list of geeky teams at our school in descending order.
1. Chess Team 2. Scholar Bowl Team 3. Math Team 4. Speech Team 5. Robotics Team As you an see we have barley cracked the top five. But we will keep trying. |

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
At our school, the band geeks and robotics geeks (which are pretty much the same people) are pretty much just considered geeks and otherwise ignored by the majority of the student body....

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
My team's Robotics team is usually ignored or unknown by most of the students...however, we are not as geeky as we seem. We not only have geeks, video gamers, and anime-maniacs, but we have "cool" people, a couple metalheads (the music lovers, not the Robotics team), a whole bunch of dudes who play basketball, and 5 girls (OMGWTFBBQ!).
But...a girl in my History class looked at my T-shirt, the team shirt, one day, and made a O_o at the 2004 Robot's name (The Dentist). She said "That's pretty wierd...do you guys even have any social lives?" Yeah, that about sums it up. |

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
Our administration likes the program and is proud of us. But all the popular football people are the ones that get the fame... They just call most of us geeks! But hey that is cool
GEEK POWER! |

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
Our school thinks-
"geez- how does that team manage to do such incredible stuff when we do so little to support them" If the real question is what do most of the kids think, my response is "who cares?" - the real question should be "what do the kids on the team think of their own performance on the team?" The opinions of others (especially children) about the value of things they know little about is of very little interest to me. Down off the soap box again.... WC (?????- whats a soap box Mr. C.??? ) |

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
our school is so big and we are a rookie team so not many kids know about it or what it is. all my football friends know about it and haze me a lil about it but they know that it wont do any good and that I love it too much to stop. Also what they dont realize is that all of us will be making more money than most of them in the future and we are the ones that will be driving the technological breakthroughs of tomarow

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
our school didnt think much of it at first but after our first regional in 2003 and ended up winning the competition part we had a pep rally and all that jazz(our school is really big on competition and winning...but we are gradually helping them realize the benefits of robotics) this year our team is using the administrative building for hq and thats cool cuz its like we're getting recognized by the school... but the biggest thing is that this year robotics is a lettered event... thats huge... so it just takes a while to get the school to understand the program but once they do you become one of the cool nerds
good luck |

Re: What does your school think of robotics?
We have growing support at our school, but it's very recent. We do not receive any kind of monetary support from our school, the main thing we get is a place to build and keep stuff. We have a good amount of teachers that help us by staying and "watching us" during build season (we have to have a district employee at all times to be working there) that way our main sponsor doesn't get completely burnt out.
Prior to last year, very few people knew about our team (even though last year was our 5th year), but we did fairly well at regionals for the 2nd time, and the Principal came down and saw us compete. We got to show the robot off at a pep rally last year, and at club day and a state-wide student council assembly this year, so we've become alot more recognized this year. We do get somewhat labeled geeks and nerds, but alot of people think are robots are pretty cool, so it's not in a bad sense, more in a "we know alot about technology" sense. |
