schools giving money
One problem our school had with giving us money was that money could not go to the benefit of any individual student and understandably so.
So we took another path and asked the school to cover the expenses for "common" needs of the team. These include our travel expenses for the chaperones (required) and our ground transportation costs for the whole team.
As a result we were fortunate to receive $3500 towards travel in 2001 and have a pledge of $3000 for this year if we qualify. This, and a place to meet, are all we ask from the administration.
Our robot building costs and such are covered fully by our sponsor and we receive a very generous stipend from them which covers registration and part of the travel costs. Students work hard to fund raise the rest- very hard!!!
