5027 Gofundme success

[Ubiquity]

Thanks everyone. It really helps when you have 254 and 1678 pick you as their partner, and then have their engineers cheesecake you. It also helps to have a great mentor team like Dark Matter lend us their shop. Other teams including Barn 2 Robotics and the Warrior Borgs among many others helped us out too.

While I am proud of our team, I am thankful do everyone who helped us out along the way. I used to work with Mark Leon, who was very close to the Cheesy Poofs. One time after they has won yet another regional, I said, "You must be very proud of your team." He replied, "They are all my teams, and I am proud of all of them." We hope to see you all at Champs - last I heard we will be on Newton.

I guess we're pretty successful with our gofundme - nearly $11,000 raised.

I'm really glad to hear of your success! And *thank you* for posting about the ways you reached out to your community. We're not yet going to Saint Louis but we're hoping we're on the way to the New England District Championships. And we're in mad fundraising mode.

I never thought that I'd be spending the evening reading marketing docs but FIRST gives everyone a chance to learn something new!
