Sell your scrap aluminum to a recycler. You'll make more money.
Find a fundraiser that's worthwhile, that your entire team can participate in.

"The bottom fell out" his a highly relative term.
It dropped about 40% ($80 or so) after having skyrocketed by three times that. It's not something to put all of your life savings into, but it's not entirely without merit either.
Keep in mind it's only a few years old now, it may very well stabilize in the future.
That said, there's absolutely no reason to attempt to use the cRIO for mining. ASIC (application-specific hardware) silicon has completely dominated bitcoin mining even though it's only been available for a few months. There's not a snowball's chance in hell of competing against that.
