Re: What does your school do for FIRST?
We have it pretty well compared to some other teams I know. We're allowed to use the bus for transportation without cost, we get a decent bit of money from the school and it's foundation every year, build space in our pre-engineering classroom, and we're allowed to stay until about midnight or later during the build.
We lucked out this year and had a major administration change and got our Principle and Vice Principle to go to the NJ regional on Friday with us. Now they're big fans of our team just because we were doing so well out there. I've noticed that once you can get an administrator to go to an event getting support for the team is much easier.
