Thats what had happened with my old team (Team 1919). In 2008 there were no funds to operate two teams from the same building (three schools- one building). It was sad, but it was better then dropping robotics all together.
As for your team members, when ever i see a freshman playing around i tend to find some dirty work for them to do (kinda like punishment) EX: I saw a kid playing with garage band on one of the computers while everyone else was working/programing/wireing and i told him that we needed some of the metal scraps swept up... He never went back on the computer. I like to find quick tasks for people who need constant direction (its less to mess up), IE Wire the battery to the power distribution, then send power to the cRIO.
My best advice: Merge.
It will eliminate your severe money problems. And make build season so much easier.
