Re: Big Big Problem
Say you are the Larryville High School Robotics Club/Team. What you should do, is form the Larryville Robotics Enthusiasts Group. By form, I mean not much more than call yourselves by that name and make sure it is not affiliated with the school except that students from the school are part of it. Then when you are fundraising, you are the Larryville Robotics Enthusiasts Group and then they collect all the money and make one big donation to the Larryville High School Robotics Club/Team which builds the robot.

Basically, just disassociate yourselves from the school for only the purposes of fundraising, and then have that disassociated group relay the money to the school club/team. You may want to have that group become a nonprofit though.
