We need your help to get to the FRC World Champships in St Louis, MO.
Runnymede Robotics has won the 2015 North Bay Regional Competition. We also won the Innovation In Controls Award and our lead mentor won the prestigious Woodie Flowers regional award. As a result, we have been invited to the 600 team World Championships in St Louis, Missouri April 23. The team needs to raise money to pay for things like the US$5,000 entrance fee, the US$10,000 hotel room costs for the team over the four day competition, the $7,000 bus cost to get there and back, plus $3,000+ for the robot and its spare parts and tools. Unfortunately the ~30% unfavourable exchange rate is making it that much harder.
