We do fundraising just as every other team.....but we also like to do some different "projects" for the community during our free time.....
2 major "projects" are....
The Bona Vista project which is a giant 8x10x7 ft robotic box.....this box will include lights/robot arms (mainly from our 1999 robot) and a mini controlled toy that kids can drive around part of the box... More info

The other project is our ball drop that we do during New Years....this is "similar" to the one taking place just one a smaller scale for our town.
We also do various demos and try to mentor new teams.....
One of my favorite demos was at the Assembly Technology Expo in Chicago......there we presented our robot at the IPS Extrusion booth.....(very big expo/very cool/very fun)
