We are getting lots of cool things for the Charity Auction. Maybe for 2012 we can come up with a way for "on-line bidding" :D

Some of the items so far -

Official FIRST backpack
Winning Mini-Bot chassis
234 jersey
Large IRI teams quilt

A 2011 IRI trophy

IRI "racing style" bright yellow shirt
FIRST Crew Shirts
Autographed Woodie Flowers Pictures
341 tool briefcase filled with Daisy spirit items.


There will be more as teams begin to arrive!

You might want to lock the 1114 lift system in a vault with a SWAT team guarding it. Who knows what would happen otherwise :p

I'd present 1114's elevator to the winning bidder after the competition is over so that 1114 doesnt spawn a twin mid-competition.

Bacon basket donated by thinkgeek.com and Exploding bacon will be arriving in about 3 hours.

How much did 1114's lift system sell for??

[Marc S.]

The Cows 1538 bought 1114's lift for $450 I believe.

Thank you to everyone who donated items or bought them and for all who came to the mentor dinner or "drove" in the mentor tournament.
