How much does your school support your FIRST Team?

[Dermot_135]

Here at Mishawaka Indiana, team 135 gets a lot of support from our school "Penn High School." Since the beggining of the 6 weeks, we've been able to work from 3 pm to midnight or sometimes even 1 or 3 in the morning! We have an awesome shop available, and its always available! We've even built a half court playing field for practice! Most of our classmates are very supportive of us, and if they didn't know about robotics, they were always curious to know. Our school board gave us 2,500 dollars " We worked very hard for that money!" through concessions and having "Robotics Night". Our school supoervisor came to the Purdue regional and so did two representatives from the Patrick Metals company. I feel very grateful and fortunate to be supported by our community. We've even extended our outreach program to the South Bend team and we've helped them weld their parts! I do believe that every school should support their robotics teams 100%. Because that's what schools are for right? To educate kids? Things are pretty backwards these days. Best of luck to all of you and see you at nationals
