Re: Surviving for Year #2??

Some links I've gathered:

http://frc-grants.arc.nasa.gov/frc/app/directions.php
http://penfieldrobotics.com/team/fundraising.php

Also, approaching any small companies can be useful - a local pizzeria donated a few pies every week of build - equaled about $300 or $400, which is big.

As another rural team, I can empathize. Be sure to get as much visibility as possible - any events get money. Even at our local train show, putting out a robot, a table with information, and a few team members to drive and talk can get enough to be worth doing.
