Demolition Squad... Team 267 needs your help.

[Arefin Bari]

Hey everyone,

I am writing on behalf of Catherine Donoso who is a very dedicated member on Demolition Squad (267) and in FIRST, and a great friend of mine. Catherine and her team is facing a problem of losing engineers and space to work at. They are seeking for help. as of right now, they are working on getting a local machine shop to sponsor them in order to make the parts, also they will be asking one of the local University to mentor them.

Now here are the questions:

1) what is the best way to convince engineers to help a team?

2) what is the best way to get sponsorship from local machineshops? (has anyone done it before? if yes, how?)

3) if you do not have place that you can think of to work at (her school doesnt have any space for them to work at) what is the best way to handle that?

Florida has lost one of the champions, Team 212, RACE... i would hate to lose another great team and a great friend. thank you so much for your cooperation.

-Arefin.
