What procedures do you have to go through to use this building?
Also if you do use the school,
Do you have to pay to use school facilities?
What amount of monetary support is your school providing your team?
How do you handle donations made to the school on behalf of the robot team?

We get no funding from district or ed foundations. We are 501c3 org. We don't pay for school's use. We build the robot out of the school's building. We're restricted to a small area downstairs, can spread into construction technology area when school's out but must "clean back" to our area at end of robotics day, school wouldn't let us use any of their computers, thus our team didn't have computers til sponsor lent them to us a couple of years ago. We used to have school official open the building every time, but they've learned to trust us with a key now. All money donations to our team are handled by a school foundation. All equipment donations are kept in our small area.
