Please give me a call. There is a volunteer handbook on line which is all about how to get the school to have a team and how to hook a sponsor.
Go to the FIRST website. Then go to Robotics, then to team resources. There you will find the "Volunteer Handbook" with different sections. It's a word doc you can change and print out.
Also included are other docs you can use like our the team brochure used in 2001 to get sponsors after our first year.
Feel free to print, modify and use all the materials in anyway you see fit. That's why they are there.
The end of each section even has the most commonly raised objections and how to address them.
If you want, I also have initial contact letters, budgets for 15,30 and 55k. Whatever you need, I have. Email me directly at
