Go to Post Students design and build it, the engineers/mentors are there to guide us when we stray off the path. A great way to learn, a great way to mentor, a great way to grow. - chellyzee93 [more]

Re: What to do when you lose support from your school?

If I were in your position, and the budget did not pass, I honestly would start fundraising ASAP. Become a club outside of school, become your own non-profit. Get a 503 code. Go get some corporate sponsors. Telling people around your area and possible sponsors that you just lost over half your income will encourage people to help you. Work in a parent's garage. Teams like 772 have lost support of teachers and are still one of the top teams. It's not impossible, it just requires a lot of passion and dedication.. which I am positive your team has.

And in the worst case scenario you can move down to a cheaper program, possibly FTC.
