Hi everyone,
We, Team 696, are trying to gather up some money to allow us to attend nationals, for which we got a special invitation from FIRST at Phoenix regional. I know it is last minute and many of you have tight budgets yourself, but we’ll really appreciate any help we can get. Please contact me if you can assist us in any way.
Thanks,

Punar,
We’d love to see you at nationals. It’s been fun playing with you and against you for several years now. Your team is a great competitor!
The Beach Bots don’t have any money this year either. We’re only sending a skeleton crew to Atlanta and all of them (both students and the engineers) are paying their own way.

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your help. It’s feels great to know that when some teams asks for help, there are many team willing to help them. And I have recieved e-mails from many team who have suggested way in which they can help. Thanks a lot again.
As it turns out, our major problem at this time is not money, but that our team mentor wouldn’t take us to nationals, so we are in a deadlock. I hope he can see the value of Inspiration in FIRST and inspire us, rather than stopping us, to the nationals.
Hope we can see many of you there.
I hope you can admit we are done for this year and will start looking forward to next year. Wasting people’s time on something that is not going to happen is not nice. To clear up things for everyone, I am sorry to inform you that we will not be attending nationals this year. That is the way it is and that is the final answer. Everyone feel free to send me an e-mail (PM box getting full) if you have any specific confusions or questions and I’d be glad to tell the story.
