Re: Broke
I firmly believe that it is an initiative by all parts of the team to want to compete and want to earn the funds to make their best effort to do so at all costs. I am not saying your team isn't doing the right things but there are certain things that you can do before build season begins. There a countless amounts of fundraising efforts to gather within your community and region that can help you guys out. These don't have to be just manufacturing facilities or large companies. They can be your local pizza shop or burger joint.
Trust me, there's no need for you guys to have to switch to Vex because of funds. 1257 can gather enough in the next 3 months to raise enough money. I know this because we have established a large fundraising goal headed by the students we have here and they are a bit behind but they understand that. Right now they are making the effort to raise enough that they can before Nov 1st.
Overall, there is no secrets to fundraising. Just establish yourself in your community in multiple places and things will catch on!
