And EricH, what did you mean about "don't treat that as an option". Also we are starting over a new year. We have no money what so ever and have spent none. Our balance is 0 at the moment.

ok something doesn't sound right here. I know some school systems will redistribute money from accounts to cover other expenditures. Did they do that with your money last year? If so, they might have an issue with your sponsor if that sponsor earmarked that money for the sole use of your team. You may want to get verification on the fact here. Again, something doesn't sound right...

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
