Runnymede Robotics
Donation protected
We need your help to get to the FRC World Championships in St. Louis, MO.
Runnymede Robotics has won the 2015 North Bay Regional Competition. We also won the Control and Automation Award and our lead mentor won the prestigious Woodie Flowers Regional Award. We have been invited to the 600 team FIRST World Championships in St Louis Missouri April 23. As a result the team needs to raise money to help pay for things like the US$5,000 entrance fee, the US$10,000 of hotel rooms required for the team over the four day competition, the $7,000 bus costs 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.
