I suggest that you do the following
1. develop a budget which outlines your exact needs from a potential sponsor. Set some goals for the 2003 season
2. contact the Rhode Island State Chamber of Commerce and see if they can help
3. contact all of your local politicians and see if they can help
4. go to the press with your dilemma. They love to support "hopeless causes"
You need an adult to really do this right. I suggesrt you get your parents together and rally the troops.
Hey you have the engineers you need and are able to build a great robot ( that much is evident!!!!). The money is out there- you just need to search for it.
Dont give up just yet!! You will survive this.
