Re: CT Teams - What does your school system provide your team

Hey Wendy,

I'll give you a quick overview of what we're given/not given.

What we GET:
1) Our primary sponsor is the Board of Education. They pay our initial entrance fee.
2) Use of a wood shop to build our robot, including:
- Use of the wood working and hand tools
- Allowing us to get our Lathe and Bridgeport electrically wired
- Use of the Compressed Air system
- Heat (for the CT winters)
- Keys to the room
- A locked storage area within the woodshop (8' by 15')
- A "Long term storage" area
3) Temporary use of the rest of the school
- A classroom w/ computers for website developement, CAD, Office Documents
- A carpeted room
- The gymnasium
- Hallways, Stage, etc...
4) The teachers receive a stipend for being an advisor the team. The stipend is on par with club advisors, but below what a sporting team coach receives.
5) A team page and picture in the Yearbook

What we DON'T GET:
1) Woodshop supplies
- Replacement Blades, Drill bits, sandpaper, material, etc...
2) Transportation or general Travel Expenses
3) Free use of the Kitchen for Fundraising Events (pasta dinners, pancake breakfasts, etc...)
4) Varsity letters, a trophy display case, hung banners in the gym
5) Website hosting

I'm sure there are more perks, as well as drawbacks, that I've forgotten. But, those are the biggies. Let me know if you need more information about a specific item.

BEN
