The DevilBotz are a great extra curricular activity for Burlington kids, but I have always wondered why they have to fundraise to support their team's participation in tournaments. When you consider how much money goes to sports (how much did the new field cost?), it seems like the school department should budget for this activity so kids and their families don't bear that burden. After all, very few Burlington kids are going to make their livings playing football, but a lot of them will become engineers.... We should be supporting these endeavors. Buzz - would you be willing to ask the Administration or the School Committee about this? It's been happening for years.
