1. Pratt gave us, I believe $8,000 this year
2. misc minor sponsors (about 20 on the list I last saw) donated about $12,000
3. None, as far as I know..but they did donate a building for us to use to make our bot
4. no cost to students..only those who aren't involved throughout the year..wait, $50 deposit..I forgot about that
5. last time I hear it was $26,800..may be wrong
(all additional funds was via fundraising)
We have 4 engineers from Pratt and I believe 5 from Perry Techonologies who used to work for Pratt or who got rangled in to help out with the team by those who used to work at Pratt.
As per the question as to wether our advisors who are teachers get any compensation..one of our teachers (who works at the other school in our county) gets some sort of a supplement b/c robotics is considered a club. My father helps out with things related to the team at my school (paperwork, mainly) but gets nothing b/c he's not labeled as the main sponsor of the club and the club is run through the other school in our county, anyway.
I probably should check with one of the adults from our team for the latest numbers, but I believe these are fairly accurate. Be sure to take into account the fact that our transportation costs are very low, considering the one regional we go to as well as Nationals are within three hours of us by car.
