Re: The end of RoboPride 2781

It's only the end if you are going to accept it is the end. Becoming a 4-H team is easy. And any of your corporate sponsors can go with you because you are a 501.c.3. It's just a tax ID number.

And 4-H Foundation has a grant program to support teams. It's probably not going to make up for the money the school gave you but it's something. And being 4-H may open opportunities you overlooked before. A lot of people look at 4-H and think its all about farming (even though it's not). But a quick google of robotics in agriculture and you may find companies that are investing in the very technology we are teaching these kids to use. Drone tractors, color identification on produce, GPS mapping....

Find an industrial park or a vacant mall for a build space.

Stay in the game. Good Luck.
