Re: Mentors, is there an issue with how you pay for your Championship package?

I'll be up front and tell you I don't handle the teams finances but as far as I know we've never had an issue with this. Our team has it's own account and isn't financially associated with the school and recieves zero funding from the school, board of ed, or town budget. Out team is 501c3 tax exempt and our sponsors monetary donations go into our teams account. This account is drawn on only for anything our team needs wether it be registering for events, tools or parts/materials for the robot, and travel expenses. Travel expenses takes the lowest piority with our budget, if there isn't enough funds the cost is split among those traveling to competitions. We try to do as much fundraising as possible to keep costs down but as many teams have realized the last few years have been rather difficult.
