Is this question for the New Zealand teams?

If so our school is still trying to get the Registration fee together for in time, we should be able to fundraise the $1,500 needed but our school has said if we don’t have all the money by October they will loan us the money which is good. The only thing I can see being a problem for the NZ teams is getting the compulsory corporate sponsorship of $50,000 but I think the university organising everything is approaching the potential sponsors we have given them the names of. So we should be able to get all the sponsorship needed to compete, for our school it will be more of a problem getting the additional money for non KoP items and if possible we are going to try get the $1,500 worth of software needed to use the CNC our school owns, why we don’t have the software for it is a mystery though.
