Our team works in two/three different rooms, the PET lab (physics engineering and technology), the school's autoshop, and the drafting room. Design team uses the drafting room and the autoshop. Manufacture are usually in the autoshop too. While programming, electronics, and the web team use the PET lab, there are lots of computers in there, and it's a nice place to wire and program stuff. Sometimes the PET lab is also used to test the robot, but it has also been taken to the main hallway in our school to be tested too. You can see some of these pictures on our website. The autoshop is pretty shabby and space is very limited as well, but at least we have one. ^.^
As for fundrasing, we are fortunate to have some sponsors who supports us (listed on website). However, our main source is truffles. We sell truffle bars of many flavors for a dollar each, everyone in our school loves them so they're pretty easy to sell. However, the problem is that it gets tiring if you do this everyday for the whole year and it's a heavy weight to carry around all day and people have even stopped me in the hallway too. Despite all of these methods, it has also been hard for us to raise enough to fund our robotics team because it always seems as if we are under funded... anyways, I hope that helped. If you have any questions, just post on our forum or send us an email.
