No.
Who manages the team/students?
Currently, a Kettering Student. She does one amazing job considering taking classes while managing an FRC team.
How involved is your school?
I prefer not to discuss this
How involved are your students parents?
2 of the parents are incredibly involved. The rest... not so much
What is your teams operating budget?
If we go to States, ~12000. Otherwise ~8000. We could have shaved a bit of money off if we hadn't went to West Michigan and had to pay for hotels.
How do you get compensated, besides the obvious joy of watching your students grow?
Technically speaking I am paid by Kettering to mentor an FRC team. I am paid in food and $300 a year from KU for doing recruitment. Kinda a sweet gig because I was planing on mentoring anyway.
I am also compensated by meeting industry leaders... great networking.

M-F 230-6 Sat 10-4/6. Meetings can be extended as needed.
