Pepsi has setup a website, where people can submit ideas for certian amounts of money. Every month, new applications get selected and are posted onto their website. Then people can vote on which idea they think are best. The top 10 in our category will recieve the grants. This is a wonderful program and we are all excited to be part of it!
I have submitted my team (3181 Pittsford Panthers) in for $25,000 under the education area.

Please vote once a day!
If we are in the top ten by votes in the $25K category, we will be funded!
Please tell everyone you know to vote for us!
Thank you everyone, with the help of the very caring Chief Delphi community, I have no doubt we can be i the top 10.
THANK YOU!
P.S. we are currently in 145th place. (i'll update as time goes by)

Good luck. I did two submissions last month. Came in around 200th place.
Just remember to tell everyone to vote EVERY day!
P.S. If you win, can we come over and borrow some tools?

We currently at 121. Need to start moving on up! :)
Thanks!
Voted, up to 121st
I suggest teams think about proposals that support your entire community for years to come. If 10 more FRC teams submit proposals on PEPSI to fund your own team and tools, the general public voting will not bode well for FIRST projects.
Grants need to be creative , original and inspiring to people who do not understand robotics.
647th post - Go Cyberwolves , congrats on your regional victory at LSR with 148 & 118

Sounds good to me, if they all help out, we should gain some ground quickly.
As of right now we are in the 113th spot.

Wanted to bring this thread to everyone's attention again. It's at 131 now with 10 days to go. Not a great position to be in, but I suspect that voting for the other ideas has been declining as the initial excitement wears off. If we can start a voting surge from now until the end (the 30th), I bet we can bring this thing up significantly.
So, if you haven't voted yet, START NOW! If you've stopped voting, START AGAIN! If you wrote friends to get them to vote, WRITE THEM AGAIN! And remember to VOTE EVERY DAY!
If the roles were reversed and it was your team trying to win the money, wouldn't you want other people to vote for you? Show some respect and VOTE FOR TEAM 3181!
Let's do this!
