Questions: Support From Your School (Financial & Other)

[Alex Webber]

1810 is a cross district team. We have 31 students from one high school, and 5 from the other. I happen to be one of those five. We also presented to our school board early March. It was a great success (had 350 people there due to another controversey in our district)

Is your school public or private: Public
How many years has your team been in existence? This is our 10th year
What support does your school or district give to your team (money, facilities, other donations)? Facilites: We get 1 dedicated build room/workshop, and two other large classrooms to use during meetings. We also get support and reconiziton from our district.
What does your overall team budget look like? What portion of that budget is contributed by your school? I don't exactly know, figuring 5,000/regional, 2,000/robot, 1,500/food + transportation. (this is just a really rough guess) However, not much if any However, 12,000 - 17,000 is a accurate estimate. See this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=76604
Does the school provide faculty and/or co-curricular paid positions for the team? If so, how many? I do not think so.
Does your district have FLL/FTC teams as well? How are those funded/supported in relation to FRC? We just have a FRC team. We might be starting a FLL team at a elementary school sometime soon.
Does your school have a robotics course or series of programs? Is FRC worked on during these hours? We have a few classes with VEX kits, nothing real advanced. Nope. Our team is entirely outside of school hours
What does your team do for your school?We make a few fun projects, such as a T-Shirt cannon robot... people like that. Its also a great thing to say that you have a strong robotics team, draws people into the district.
