Help FRC2586 CopperBots get to Worlds!

[Christopher149]

I am posting this on behalf of FRC team 2586.


We are asking the FRC community, especially their former MTU mentors who have scattered to the far reaches of the kingdom, to help our sister team the CopperBots in their quest to get to St Louis. This year for the first time in their 9 year history they are going to Worlds, not as a waitlist team, but by earning the right! This northern-most team in Michigan is a low resource team that recycles robot parts from year-to-year and the coach dumpster dives in a local manufacturer’s metals recycling bin for metal stock.

They do not have a major sponsor that pays their registration fees, but instead relies on many donations from individuals, our small local employers, their school and the MI Department of Education grant which has run out of money to fund advancing teams.

Please visit their Facebook page and Crowdwise funding site, donate what you can and then spread the links over the land. With only two more Championships in St Louis this may be the only time the team will get to go to this fair city and scale the mighty arch.
