Like the school needs more arm-twisting. They have the robotics team's qualification as roughly the second item in their news section on their website's front page... Thanks to the OC Register. Chalk one up to using the press to your advantage and keep fundraising.
Definitely push that it's the
world championship and go straight to the top. Know what you are asking for, though. In this case, 2-3 more days off school and maybe some funding to travel.
For local businesses, tell them that you're going to the world championship and that
anything they can donate will help, even if it's only $50 or the opportunity to do a fundraiser within the next couple of weeks.
