Even as a club? Weird.
Well, I can say as a mentor that this is tough. We started in Yuma as a community team partnered with our community college. We had a tiny storage room and a classroom. Luckily my work allowed us to bring the students in and work on the robot. Last year, the community college didn't support us with a space (they never gave us money) so we went looking for high schools. Only one would help us with a room. We had an old lab room and access to the weld shop. That was more than we could ask for. Now this year we are officially their team but still let any schools students join (very important to me). This is the first year we're taking advantage of the tax donations that we never had before.
Hopefully you find a place and well see you at the AZ regional again.
