If your location is good, you could try getting funding from government contractors (who love to fund robotics). Lockheed was a good choice to go to. SAIC, Boeing, Micron, and any of the NANA corporations are all great places to draw funding from.

Yeah, here in socal you can't throw a rock without hitting an aerospace company. Our team is sponsored by Northrop Grumman: Space Technology mainly, but we have mentors from boeing and raytheon as well (there is Hughes, JPL and Lockheed Martin in the area aswell). We have to stick to small buisness sponsorships because big aerospace companies don't like giving money to teams already sponsored by a competitor
