Re: Probably won't have enough money for FRC this season :(
We are in a similar situation. I applaud your efforts and encourage anyone in a similar situation to do the same.
If our funding does not come in on time, we will be doing a first as well.
This year we may ask the parents to make a donation. It will not be mandatory. Most of our parents understand to huge benefits that come from participating in FIRST. In our case, it will be a tax deductible donation.
Consider the amount a parent contributes when their student participates in any Varsity sport. Cheer-leading, Basketball, Football, Tennis, and even Golf, to name a few, have costs associated with them in just personal equipment, let alone team costs. Why should Robotics be considered any different?
