This way, the adults can't spend money inappropriately (which we have had once this season already), the students learn how to manage their money, and robot parts can get ordered quickly.
Any thoughts as to if this would work? Any other ideas of how to deal with this type of issue?
Hope your issues get resolved soon,

Again, this requires having the money available to you to put in a bank account. Management of money usage isn't our problem, it's that FIRST has not been able to give us the money we have in a timely fashion.
