It might be sufficient to organise as a university society - it's not
unusual for student societies to handle some money. The sailing robot
project I presented a couple of months ago is organised as the 'Maritime
Robotics Student Society', and we were able to accept some money from
the university and manage it through the university finance system.
I don't know much about the organisational side of our project, but I
could put them in touch with the people who do if they want to know more
about what we did.
