sponsors and Fundraising

[atucker4072]

For the past several years we have only had enough funds to compete with a basic robot spending only around $200 on parts and materials other than what was donated to us.

Are there any ideas on fundraisers that teams have had a huge success with? We do small things that generate small cash but would like to have a fundraiser that we are known for doing and make people want to donate to our team.

We also live in a area where the are not many big name industries around like Boeing or lockheed. Are there any teams that have the same situation and how have you overcome it?

Any help is appreciated.
