Why choose FRC instead of FTC?

[Garrett.d.w]

Hi,
my team has been in a similar situation, without the FTC option being part of the debate. The administration was/ and still isn't, very keen in giving us support. Long story short, fund raise till you drop. When you are done with that, put that hard earned money to good use. Show them that you are committed to FRC.

For us, it has been very beneficial to become more involved with the school, while avoiding cutting into their budget. Try and generate as much interest in the program as you can. Go to assemblies, involve yourself with other local teams, befriend the FIRST regional director (very helpful as it draws media attention to the school).

Simply put, MAKE THE SCHOOL LOOK GOOD.

If all else fails, do what we wound up doing. Ask only for a space, put in all of the hours after school, and fund raise your own money.
