Re: Advice needed!

Hi Kevin

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Feel better?
George had some great things to say especially about partnering with other teams in your area.
Some teams pay there mentors? Sign me up
I've been doing this for over 14 years and seeing the students design and build a robot is enough pay for me.

One thing we do to raise money is we make a robot catalog. We ask parents/relative/companies to buy parts for out robot. We have parts from $5.00 (a box of rivets) to $5000.00 (regional registration)
We also rent out students for $10 an hour for a pair.

Good luck this year and I hope we see your teams for many years.
