Re: Lowest Budget??
The board of Ed paid for our entry fees for nationals, one regional, and like 2,000 bucks strictly for the build season (use it or lose it money)

Our biggest and to my knowledge only sponsor to donate money was Timken with like 500 bucks.

It dosen't matter that we don't have a flashy robot, cool carts, the best tools, or lots of computers. That didn't stop us from building a regional winning robot.

Haveing 5-6 core kids building the robot and working everynight, advisors that learned from mistakes made in previous years, and knowing what works and what dosen't is more important than 30-50k.
