Go to Post People misuse GP because they see Dean as some sort of whimsical cross between the Nutty Professor and Mister Rogers and think that FIRST is Disney World and we're all going to happily hold hands around the campfire and sing happy songs all day long. - Koko Ed [more]

Exclamation Team 975 is sending out an SOS to the FIRST community

Hey guys,
I'm an alumni from team 975 (based out of Midlothian, VA)
We (the students) have just received news that we do not have the resources to continue participating in FRC for the 2011 season, or the 2010 season for FTC. I am sending out an SOS to our FIRST community to help us at least compete in the 2010 FTC season.

I probably don't have to explain how essential the "FIRST experience" is throughout a team. For ours the biggest thing is it creates a place where we can all just be ourselves (while accomplishing things our classmates assume impossible).

So I'm asking my fellow FIRST mates to lend a hand. We need ideas on how to continue. What kept your team going during this recession? What's the best way to get sponsors on such a low (or no) budget? How can we beat down the "robotics is for nerds" stereotype, and win over the student population of our school? How can ~10 students make a voice in a crowd? PLEASE HELP!
