I don't think fundraising is really something you can have a group for, its an overall group effort. Putting some kids aside to work solely on fundraising during meetings, especially in your case where everyone wants a part in the robot, is probably not a good idea.
What I've found that works in the offseason (we tried some new things over the summer), split your meetings in half and start of with fundraising that everyone works on. Write a letter to get sent to businesses together, plan some fundraisers, maybe give each person homework such as come in the next meeting with a list of 10 potential sponsors and a mailing address. After you wrap up that portion of the meeting, all hands on deck for robot-related activities.
