Question Lack of Building Materials and Resources

hey everyone,
im an avid reader, few time writer, but i just wanted to know if teams had a total lack of school support and building resources.
Our team (920, Central Lancers, worked in a store room in our school half filled with dead computers, desks, and other junk, and the other half was shared by us and contractors working in the school. All we had were donated hand tools and our college mentors power tools. NO machine shop tools at all. We actually had to get the chassis welded by the mentors Co-op. Our school hadnt set aside money for us so we had to work off donatations form parents and the few dollars that our school could find for us. I was just wondering if other teams had a total lack of resources and materials. I seriously think that first should set up a service for teams that can't afford resources. Any support to show FIRST would be a great help.
