3. If we can't afford the season what do we have to do? Do we inform someone, is there forms, etc?

4. Can we not register for an event, or kickoff, and still build a robot and compete in pre/post season scrimmages.

5. Would we be able to restart our team next year if funding came through? Would we have the same team number?

1. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any simple solutions in these kinds of situations.
2. That's a question you should ask your regional coordinator.
3. Can't aswer that one... Sorry.
4. I don't know events that won't approve of that. Most will allow you to compete, if not all, but asking the event organizers can't hurt.
5. Definitely yes. I'm not 100% sure about how returning teams' numbers are given, but as far as I know, if you restart your team three years or less after folding it, you'll get your old number back. If not, the number is retired, and if you return up to seven years after folding, you'll get the closest numberto the one you had before. If you come back any later than that, you can return as a rookie, I'm not sure whether at this point you may still get a number close to your original one. (Please someone correct me if I'm wrong)

I hope things work out for you, and that my answers helped
