We also come across that problem often. We have decided to teach newer students how to drive the robots. We also plan demonstrations for the elementary school which can cost little to no money. You can always look for new sponsers if you don't have much to do and also don't have much funds. Organizing and cleaning work spaces are critical, so that when build season comes, you are prepared. Start planning possible drive systems for next year. Also teach newer students about older robots. At today's meeting, we discussed the possibilities of getting one of our older robots to drive up ontop of the newest robot. It can't because it is to low to the ground to be able to clear the ramp. That's when problem solving comes in. Four or five students were able to discuss how make it possible for the robot to climb the ramp. (Some ideas were bigger wheels, take off the arm, ect.) Hope that helps. I will reply again if I can think of any more.
