I think based on what i just read you need to do 2 things:

1. Get a strong member base in the school (and just FYI, its pretty hard to really be behind at this point).

and 2nd...GET SPONSORS!!! Put together packages, some typed stuff about FIRST, about your team, about your situation, stuff like that. Get it out to the business world/techie world ASAP.

Also, you might want to try get a parents comitee going - Parents can be a lot of help when it comes to fund-raising, and stuff like that.

So, basically get: People and Money.

Good luck!
