!Poll! Difficulty with funding

[Donut]

We have enough to go to one regional and build a robot. One sponsor pays for the intial registration, the other pays for parts and helps with machining. We stock pile extra funds (basically what we fundraise) so that every 2 or 3 years the team can go to Nationals.

I'm hoping the fact we can't go to any other competitions this year will wake up alot of the new members in the club to help us fundraise more (we had a very large rollover this year and had all of the previous officers graduate or resign due to other commitments, and roughly half the club this year is new). We've gotten many suggestions such as "I know this one company that might be willing to...", however no one has actually gotten any kind of contact information, and internal problems with the officers have prevented us from doing any effective work with getting corporate sponsors.

We did manage to have a LAN party and a week long bagel sale though, which is good for us considering I don't remember the club even doing one fundraising activity while I've been part of it.
