This is our 3rd year in the FIRST robotics program and as several other here have stated, we are struggling with funding and sponsors also. I realized that this would be a challenge for the team for this coming season back in March of this year. Unfortunately with the loss of most of last years students (being seniors) and all the school staff that participated (job transfers), we were unsure if there was going to be a team to participate this year.

Add to all this that most of the previous years sponsors have committed to support other programs, we are facing the possibility that we will be in the stands this year cheering other teams on.
