Re: Overcoming challenges of having an FRC team in schools and overworked teachers

Ryan,

There are a few teams around UD who have been through this process over the last few years, I recommend reaching out to them!

Innovators Robotics, FRC 3138, in Vandalia, OH was started as a 501(c)3 non-profit LLC right out of the gate because they were unable to drum up support from area schools. They have a build location at a sponsor's tool shop.

Thunderhawks, FRC 1038, in Liberty Township, OH was evicted from our school last year when the technology program was killed in a round of budget cuts; we ended up forming an LLC to sustain the team outside of the district. We currently have a store front at the Cincinnati Mills mall where we hold our build and training sessions, which has worked out well. We also got plugged into a local community fund to assist with donations, this has enabled us to skip getting a 501(c)3, as all donations can come through the school or the fund.

I can hook you up with contacts at each team, just PM me if you want them.
