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

[Justin Montois]

Your website mentions that you moved into a build space at a mall. Was that space donated or supplied by the school in anyway? Is the tooling in that space the property of the school district?

Also why did you have to give up your team number?

I have empathy for your situation, it just seems really bizarre, the circumstances. I'm sure you are just as confused as we are.

Hey Dirk-
We are going to see what we can do. I'll talk to our coaches to see what kind of extra parts we have and send them your way. I seriously can't believe that your school district would cut you guys, especially after such an awesome season last year. If you have any other specifics on the things you guys need, let us know. I'm really sorry and I realy hope we can help. Keep up the goOd work.

Just a thought to tuck away in your mind as you thing through this, actually two thoughts.

1) material assets such as tools, robots, etc are relatively minor things to lose. reaquiring those things is just a task to do ( not trying to overly minimize that )

2) Losing buy in from the school system is the huge loss here. That is a big problem from a societal / educational viewpoint. We may as well get rid of indoor plumbing and electricity. Especially when the team is self funded.
