let me explain

For those of you who are just reading this thread and wondering why I am saying thank you to team 356 its because of them that my team will be attending Nationals. This past weekend we attend the Peachtree regional and it was going great! We went into Semifinals with team 356 and 507 and did a great job. After words one of our team coordinators realizes that he left the shipping info back in Miami.... So we had 2 options

a: leave the bot there and not attend Nationals
b: find about 600 bucks on the spot to have it shipped.....

money had already been a problem this season and 600 bucks was not going to drop of of the sky.
Then a member from 356 our alliance came to our pit with bucket of money. My team was in utter shock, we had no clue where to begin. She had gone around the pits and got as much for us as she could of. She also told us that her team was trying to change their FedEx papers into our names, due to they fact that they were not going to be able to compete in the Nationals. After talking to a few people and pulling strings... they did it. We were able to send our bot off to Houston. Its teams like 356 that make FIRST what it is today! So Kate and the rest of 356 thank you guys sooooo much!!!
