Re: How much do you need to raise?
A. Our team members have no set amount they need to fundraise to be in robotics. As long as they want to learn and are actively involved, they get to work on the robot and attend the local Arizona Regional.
B. Travel to our local regional is free for club members since we only need a school bus to get there (which is like $100 combined for all 3 days). Out of state travel costs must be fundraised by the student; if we can get additional monetary support beyond our initial regional and robot, that will help to reduce the travel costs for students, but each student it expected to contribute some for travel. This is largely the reason we haven't traveled out of state in 3 years.
C. Pretty much. If students fundraise nothing, we go no where.
D. In order of amount made...
1. Corporate donations
2. Arizona Tax Credit Program
3. Personal donations
4. Bagel sale
5. Entertainment book sale
