We've decided to go a little more high tech then paintball... One of the things we plan to do for this year is a team Laser Tag trip. But that's more of a team building activity for us to do a bit later in the year. We did it this year after IRI and it was awesome.
We also make rubber wristbands that say "Dawgma 1712" on them. We usually give them away as promotional things, and we still have hundreds in bags I think.

The pizza thing actually really sounds interesting, I'd really like to hear more about that. Unfortunately, the rules apply to all fundraisers on school property, no matter what the time. It really affects me for a class fundraiser where we are having a dance... we can't sell any sodas or candy, so we'll wind up selling water and pretzels for that.
One of the things that I forgot to mention about sponors is that according to our district, no club or sport can wear the logos of companies that give money. It's allowed that we can put company names and logos on the robot and on banners in our pit area, but not on our team shirts. But in that regard, we have a system in place to honor those who help us financially and with other services. The problem is (and this is another strange policy) all donor forms must be pre-approved by the school district if they are to be placed in a school district account, and any donations over a certain amount must have a request to donate money form filled out. I made one as build season was coming up last year, but due to the political process, it has yet to be approved by our school district's budget committee. So at the moment, even though we already have the system in place to have sponsors and donors, we have no real way to recieve large donations until either the form is passed, or the booster club I'm helping create along with parents and teachers starts itself up.
But enough about my problems... Thanks everyone so far who responded. It's really great to see what you all think.
