2052's Articles of Incorporation, which were approved by the state of Minnesota.
These are team 2052's (KnightKrawler) Articles of Incorporation, as approved by the state of Minnesota. I removed names and addresses of course for privacy.
We highly encourage people to ask questions about the process. If there is one lesson I would pass on to other teams, it would be this: Incorporating is not too difficult. You too can incorporate your team.
Hopefully other teams can use this as a template for there own articles.

I'm sure that if we devoted a significant amount of energy to such activities someone could call us out on it, but in the incredibly improbably chance that we found ourselves in a legal battle, I have a feeling that the fact that our main purpose (and main focus of our energies) is to build a robot for FIRST would force a ruling in our favor.
Plus, compare any time a team spends talking to local politicians to the amount of time spent working on the robot during build season, and I doubt anyone would label the former "substantial!"

Oh, so the idea there being, you aren't a lobbyist organization applying for nonprofit status.
