We get zero funding from public sources and we are a public school. All of our funding has come from extreme efforts by our students, parents, and community. In a big fundraising push last year before worlds, we raised $39k in 7 days. Our goal for this new shop is $200k.

Referring back to another post that Daisy made a couple months ago, we used to be a team that cried about our lack of funding, until we decided to get proactive. There are definitely teams that are handed the money without much effort, but if we can make it happen in a city that is facing major budget problems, anyone can.

But still, we probably won't go with robotic arms. I really am just looking for recommendations for machines, storage, tools, space layout, safety, etc.
