Please Help - Team Lost Everything (money, robots, number..)

[MrBasse]

A few questions for clarification...

What is happening with all of the items that were taken by the school? Does the equipment belong to the school, or the team, Was the team set up as being a school sanctioned club that was a part of the school?

In Michigan, it doesn't matter what set up a club has, that money belongs to that club and can be dispersed however the advisor sees fit when the club is no longer viable. Talk to the district and see what they are doing with the teams old stuff. I've never seen a school that has a need for FRC equipment, and I don't know how yours could be special in any way in that sense.

If all of the items are going to the other team in your school district, I'm willing to bet that if you get the funds together for registration they might be the team to go to for an extra cRIO and classmate. I don't know of anyone involved in FIRST that would view a situation like that as an opportunity to have two of everything...

With that being said, if you get really desperate, we have an old 8 slot we use for practice and we haven't used our classmate in the last year or so. If you need them and can figure out a way to ship, we would be happy to help...
