You'll be surprised how many people love doing this kind of thing, whether or not they want to be engineers. I'm one of them. We pick one person to lead the fundraising with the fundraising mentor, and that person works with teammates to make presentations, write letters, and scout out businesses that could potentially sponsor us.
Encourage everyone to work on fundraising and PR. It makes you appreciate the competition more than just coming in to build the robot.
