How can I presents my school's robotics team as EXTREME?
During the 2 months or so me and the rest of the robotics team have been taking part in a competition name FIRST in which we had to build a robot in 6 weeks which will compete in this challenge:
By clashing hammers against metal and using saws, most of them bigger than my very own head, we had created a metallic, blue, BEAST. We are proud to present, Dardasaba:

BTW: Dardasaba is Hebrew for Papa-Smurf, we are from Israel.
And here comes the problem:
We tried getting kids to come to the games, in which Robots will crash against other robots in an epic attempt to shoot Frisbees, during school hours to which they won't have to go, and they answered they don't know which one is more boring.
This made me think, is robotics that uncool?
How can we make it look cooler?
Now presenting it as extreme seems like a great idea. after all usualy when someone goes to space it seems like a boring sciensy thing, but when redbull got the control over it and sent out Felix it looked EXTREME. Maybe we can do the same with the robotics.
Any idea on how to change the way people see the robotics?
If it helps you can see our Facebook page and tell us how you would change it:

The boys demonstrated their robot's power by destroying a toaster, the competition demonstrated theirs destroying a compact car. That certainly taps into the common denominator, destruction, if you could stage some sort of destructive preview, I imagine the science department could come up with something cool that explodes or smokes when attacked.
