Before the first finals match I told our team that even if our robot burst into flames and was left a pile of ash on the field it would still be our best showing ever, we had only made it to the semifinals previously.

I hope we can make it to St. Louis, we have about 31 hours left to raise $4K more we need for the entry.

After last year we figured out that a lot of our sponsors were willing to help out more because we made it to St. Louis. Try old sponsors with the new scenario, try the schools you are attached to even if they don't have the money, they may be able to get the word out that you need money! Get the word out there and people will help out. Great job on the win and good luck with the money! See most of you in Seattle!
