See that bit at the end? That's us. FRC1529 has been around since 2005, and as Nick said on GameSense, the CyberCards have a history of not playing eliminations.
This year, things are a bit different. Our team grew over the summer from 18 to 45 students; we went from one to seven mentors; the past four district events we were playing in eliminations, reaching SF twice. We've expanded our outreach to over three dozen events beyond co-hosting our annual offseason event, the CAGE Match. For the first time ever, we feel like we have a robot and a team ready to join our #friendsWithRobots at The Big Show in STL.
Also, we are hugely supportive and involved with IndianaFIRST. The BFG program has given us a great platform to reach a new partner base, and we'd really love to get the $10k bonus to share with all our #friendsWithRobots.
So please consider typing FRC1529 in the memo as you support IndianaFIRST today.
