Does anyone in the Minnesota area know of any funding available for college level robotics clubs, places to buy cheap robot parts, or teams that would be willing to donate old robot parts? Thank you!
Just a quick thought - Have you considered forming a VEX-U team? If I were in college, I would be sorely tempted to form a team, use the talent pool at my college to supplement the standard VEX sensors and computing ...

Good luck with whatever path you take!
