I would like lots of details including adult help, college student involvement, shop facilities, funding, etc. Any details you have on a team adoption project, please provide.
Team 461 help start 2 rookie teams this year. One in from North White (team 1555 PULSE) and one right across town in Lafayette (Precision Guessworks team 1646)

For 1555, we sent a couple of advisors to help with every aspect of their robot. We order and purchased some of their parts. Most of the people who went to help were our college advisors. I am not sure were they work or what sponsors they have.

For 1646, we share the same main sponsor (Purdue University - School(s) of engineering. They are mentored by College students also, and most of them are alumni of team 461! We have "shared" the parts we were not using and purchased some of their parts. They work in a shop about 5 to 10 times larger than ours (we are a smaller school then Lafayette Jeff [their high school])

Hopefully this answers some of your questions!
