If you can build an entire robot in 6 weeks from start to finish, a $1000 donation should be no sweat. So, hop to it!
PS. $2000 = 40,000 returned cans. I suggest hitting up some companies.  etting a garbage truck

Jessica, your logic is a bit flawed. You are assuming teams
already have the money that would cover last year's entry fee. Those that don't, have 13 weeks to raise $
11,000, or as you put it, 11 $1000 donations, 22 $500, 44 $250, 110 $100, 220 $50, or 550 $20 donations. With 13 weeks from now until September, you have ~1.2 weeks for each $1000 donation, ~0.6 weeks for the $500 ones, and ~0.3 weeks for the $250 donations. Or as I'd put it, you should be getting a $20 donation every 4 hours from now 'till September
$11,000 = 220,000 returned cans. I suggest
getting a garbage truck.
