I don't get it. A lot of what I'm seeing from people on NYC teams seems to be along the lines of "we have unique limitations" without much willingness expressed to either address the limitations or consider alternative approaches. Am I just not "hearing" it right? Is it a "New York" way of saying things that I'm not picking up on?

I would think holding an event outside NYC would be a
good thing for people wearing NYC-only blinders, not something to be presented
a priori as a problem. (I'd call it expanding their horizons, but I've spent time in NYC, and the concept of a horizon there is often a tricky one.)

What is keeping the team's leadership from asking the school to reassess their fundraising policy in view of the specific financial needs of a robotics team? That's even without looking into what "fundraiser" means and whether it would be possible to do an ongoing/open-ended one that satisfies the existing policy.
