Re: I've got a dying team and really need some assistance.
Contact the aerospace companies, and any other company you can think of. Even if they're not engineering/technology/robotics related. You might be surprised! Just go to their websites and email or call them. Explain what FIRST is and what you do, and the situation with your team. Assuming you're in need of a new build space, ask them if they have any space you can use or know of anything. Advertise your team. If you're going from a school team to a community team, advertise in schools and wherever anyone who is remotely interested may be. Post it on social media, and have your friends and family pass it on. If there are any tech related events nearby, contact the organizers/whoever is in charge and see if you can demonstrate your robot there. Demos are always good for recruiting students, mentors, and sponsors. Try to get on the local news. Anything else you can think of to spread the word.
