hi
Our teams are in a very rural area (not a lot of industry up here) however we are more fortunate on the mechanical side we have 3 tech ed teachers who help. this year we had some students present to a company that restores WWII airplanes "Air Corps Aviation" one of the machinist there thought what we were doing was great and volunteered a LOT of time helping us, they are now a sponsor and are going to join us at our regional competition. some of the precision parts we needed could now be made on CNC equipment.

a lot of these kind of ppl are out there. outreach is a big part..
