Re: Any good patent lawyers willing to help a team?

Make sure that what you are thinking about producing is worth the investment. Many FIRST teams have free access to basic machining capabilities.

Most FIRST teams are also cheap. They will copy whatever you come up with for their own use using their own machining capabilities. All your patent will do is show them how to build it. As long as they build it for their own use and don't try to sell it, your patent means nothing.
