We lost a $2500 sponsor (our school) and a $3500 bus to Phoenix. We haven't yet re-established another $2500 sponsor that we had last year. We spent our budget very close to the "zero left" mark with last year's two regional excursion.

Most likely, we will be attending the LA regional only along with the SCRRF events.

We do not qualify for nationals based on performance or awards or anything like that. Even if we did, like winning a regional this coming year, we would not have the money to attend.

It's sad, we are now a fourth year team and have attended only one different regional once and nationals never.

Our team is only 18 students so we don't get a lot of money too fast. The biggest sponsor we've ever had besides the NASA grant was $2500. Our largest current sponsors are two different groups each giving $1000 for this new year. That's about it.

Do you realize that with a measily $5 million dollars from some large corporation or the government, every FIRST team's registration could be cut in half for two years.

Anyway, I got kind of off topic here. What does everyone else think of my post above?
