The reason were not allowed to fundraise is becuase of miami-dade regulation (our schools county). A year or two back a teacher in another school from our district embezzeled about $15,000 and since then teachers arent allowed to fundraise in order to avoid situations like that. The reason we arent allowed to say our schoools name at all is so we cant claim were affiliated with them - which we could then 'demand' money for. Also, becuase of the new rules robotics is a club, not team, and all money (in order to actually get to us) must be given to the robotics booster club; if its given to the school they dont have to give it to us. Its really complicated for no reason at all.
As for our tools, they werent purchased in particular for the robotics team, but rather for the class offered as part of the school curriculum. Although we are very lucky to have those machines nearby, we wouldnt object to having actual money to get materials and especially after this year professioanal help becuase all our seniors (who compose the bulk of the team) are gtraduating.
Thnx to all you who notice us, and how far weve gotten with our little robot.
