Please do keep us posted with fundraising!

Dearest PR and fundraising,

Please keep us on the robotics team posted with your fundraising efforts! For example, I was unaware that we were graciously sponsored by Intuitive Surgical until I ran into a former co-worker AT the Silicon Valley Regional competition.

Also, I have forwarded to jrock emails from Greg Hurst, Alecia's father, who is interested in working to get Altera (the company he works for) to help sponsor Gatorbotics. Here's the dilemma - Greg got in touch with the electronics and build team because he could make a better case for Altera sponsoring us if there's an Altera microprocessor or chip in the devices that we use.

I am looking forward to working more closely with fundraising and PR next year, because I believe we can help you bolster your case to your potential sponsors with our close knowledge of the technical stuff that we use!

All the best!

How are we doing for Atlanta?

Atlanta is an expensive trip: How are we doing with finances? Have we gone back to our sponsors? How much money do we expect to be able to raise?
