See if you can put together a short video of the final rounds of the competition, and some other interesting stuff about the robot. Schedule presentations with as many local organizations and business as you can find, that might have some money to give. Also contact the local newspaper, and let them know what you've accomplished, and what you still need to do to get to Atlanta.

We have been amazed at the funding and positive publicity we have recieved in the past week since returning from the Davis regional....small towns seem to really like a winner.

Good luck, hope to see you in Atlanta!
