Re: What do you do for food?
 

Our meetings are from three to six every day during the week and we don't have weekend meetings scheduled, so food isn't an issue for us.

Then again, that all goes out the window during the end of build season, winter break in particular. Because we've never had a real need for one, 818 doesn't have a structured food plan. Sending out someone that can drive to get fast food, pizza, and/or doughnuts tends to work well enough, though. :)

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We start meetings at 5p.m. every night but we rarely bring in food for everyone. Kids are expected to either eat beforehand or (if they have stayed after school) they can leave as they please to go home or to a restaurant to eat. Waiting until the end of a meeting is not always a very good idea, since we've been known to work continously until 10:30 or 11 at night in the school. On occasion, I'll bring a couple of kids with me to Little Ceasars and buy a bunch of $5 pizzas and crazy bread. If necessary, we split the cost, otherwise i'm more than willing to foot the bill.

What 116 does for food
 

116 has parents bring lunch in on the weekends. Weeknights we usually only meet from 7-10, extending to 6-11ish, so it is eat before you come. Local pizza places will give us $5 large pizzas (PapaJohns, Dominos), and Chic-Fil-A gives us lots of free sandwiches and nuggets from time to time as well.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We have our meetings set up so that only two per week go over dinner, except for the first and, sometimes, last week, when we have five that go over emal time. We ask parents to volunteer to bring enough for about thirty to eat. We filled the entire list in one night.

At competitions, we pay out of our robotics fund from our extra fundraising money for lunches, and everyone pays for their own dinners. The hotels usually provide breakfast. At nationals lunch is paid for too.

At special meetings intended to go over dinner, but ont one of the weekly meetings, people just bring enough to chip in for pizza. I wouldn't do this too often though - not only is it mroe expenisve, you get VERY sick of pizza.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

Many thanks to the huge number of sponsorers who provided food for our team every Saturday and late night. Some, but not all, include Chipotle, Bob Evans, Mr. Meatball, Chickfillet, etc. :)

Re: What do you do for food?
 

we ask for donations from places like the school cafeteria or other places like Pizza Hut... granted somtimes that dosen't work.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We save up coupons during the year and buy pizza with that, and a lot of places around where we live support us greatly, oh yea, let's all go out there and do our best this season! Hope to see ya at a regional!

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We meet everyday after dinner till about 10:30, we try to keep a case of pop open at all times. we kinda just let whoever wants it bring it in. usually ends up one of our teachers brings in 2 or 3 a week for us :cool: Our team is rather small only about 20 total. so on weekends we take turns in small groups providing food. other than that its just on our own.

"our team lives on Moxie"

PLEASE STOP! That stuff will eat your brain cells like engineers eat axel lube!!

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We usually get a hotel with a breakfast. We will eat that every morning. For lunch, our awesome adults provide us with sandwiches, chips, fruit snack, candy, and a coke. It's actually really good. Once in a while they will bring a grill and cook hamburgers, which are always good. For dinner, everyone pays for his/her meal. We usually eat at a nicer place for dinner like Applebee's or anything like that. We (the students) only pay for dinner every day.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

For kickoff:
Saturday the team buys pizza and soda.

Sunday we always ask Subway and our local market (Bricks Market) to donate food. Subway gives us big party subs and Bricks gives us a full sheet of brownies, soda, chips, cups, plates, napkins, and ice. These donations are as simple as a phone call, pick up and thank you letter, of course a place on our shirts also.
:yikes: \

Just remember you're team does not always need $money donations, if you know of a business that has a specialty in something then go ask them to donate if you are in need of that specialty!!!!

The rest of the build season we usually just have go on your own meals. Sometimes we have a bulk order and someone goes to a fast food place to pick if up, thats if you want to anyways.

The adults are usually good about asking the kids if they need rides to places to eat and what not. ;)

Re: What do you do for food?
 

During the build season, the parents pitch in a lunch for everyone to eat on weekends.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

We start out meetings at 6:00 pm on weekdays and we ask that everyone eat before then, but we have snack machines for during the meeting. on the weekends we usually have a pot of coffee and some donuts and what ever else gets brought in.

Re: What do you do for food?
 

Oh! I forgot... The place where we meet is an OLD facotry down in the city of Rochester... Gleason Works... Since this is such an old HUGE facotry there are little machine stations where there are food and beverage machines. The old soda machines they had last year (which have since been replaced...boo) Used to drop a cup down... put ice in if you so select and then put syrup and water righ tinto the cup. Now this was all for 50 cents! It was awesome. Not onlythat but you could open the door and remove the cup before the water fell in and you could have pure coke syrup..... now that would give you a buzz and one heck of a headache! but thats my story.... who else has some really old coke machines?
