thank you every one for your help.
I started this team so that we could all have some fun and I am prety determined to make sure that we do. We definately have some leadership problems. Not that I think that we need a dictator however we need some one to tell the freshman that has decided to (fill in the blank) not to do it. Basically we need the teacher to designate a leader/s so that the kids follow them/ him/ her.

We are looking for sponsors and there is a GM plant nearby that probably will help. Really we need more people to help w/ the logistics. However everyone seems to be focused on the robot. (good, maybe? bad, maybe?) not on the logistics.

We are fortunate to have most of the basic tools drill press band saw etc. (mostly because thay weigh over 500 lbs each- not exactly portable) however we are lacking most of the basic hand tools. ie. we have no hand drills! or any socket sets! so we may be forced to bring our own tools to school. (posing the issues of theft and transportation many of us still ride the bus!) Now that I think of it we probably need to find portable tools that we can bring to the competition.

I feel alot better after reading your replies. THANK YOU! I was feeling a little distraught.
