However, I think if you're going to do a fundraiser, you should do a full-on fundraiser like a bake sale, car wash, or sponsorships. A lot of teams don't have big budgets, so that could get in the way of widespread adoption of the idea. So to sum that up, you should put it out for free to get as many teams as possible to adopt it, and not have a half-hearted fundraiser attached to it.

**However, if you wanted to make the money optional (donations), that could be good.
I see what you mean, and I agree. The thing is we spent a lot of time and effort so we need to get some return. I really do like the donation thing. I'm sure teams will like it enough to give a donation. Also, I will be posting pictures of it soon. And soon means eventually now that school has started. Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
