This is what killed us since, after we crashed it, we had to poke around trying to figure out what was wrong with it (props to Platteville for all the help).
-What majors were your team members? I imagine most of you all were engineering majors? Any CS?
Those were the main two questions I had. Also, have you guys already started working on newer/better revisions? Do we have any idea what future competitions will be?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Also, how many members did you guys have?

I'm on the network and robot communication group for CARD 6, SCOE, from MSOE.
I can't answer the financing question, if Dave comes back he would know, but I can tell you that the majority of our members are Computer or Software engineering students. We have a couple Electrical, one or two mechanical, and even a couple business students.
I think for next year it needs to be aerial game, but in stead of the ground vehicle we need an underwater vehicle.
It would be a good incentive not to crash your UAV.
EDIT: We have about 20 members, with about ten core members.
