I actually for got one thing the one thing our school did for us was not kick me and like three other kids out of the our schools crappy machine shop when we were making our wheels.
With so little money from your hosting school, how do you all do it? There are a couple of teams I know who go to all the regionals and the nats. Where does all the funding come from for you all?
We do it by having a huge budget given to us by BAE, I'd give you the number here but I don't want to sound cocky or like our team is better than your cause we get more money so I'm not If you want to know send me a private message or some thing or IM me. I'll just say that it is high. We also do alot fundraising and and raffles.
