Help Rosie Robotics Reach Houston!

Hello, all!!! Rosie Robotics (FIRST Robotics team #839) from Agawam, Massachusetts is going all the way to WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in Houston, Texas after the first ever New England Districts WIN in Rosie history!!! This comes after our excellent performances in our two competitions this year. We trucked on down to Waterbury, Connecticut for our first competition where we won the Innovation in Control Award and got 9th place overall. Then, we took the chilly hike up north to the first ever University of Vermont Competition in Burlington, Vermont. There we got 2nd place overall and got the Quality Award. That competition cemented our place in NE District Championships—where we had a bit of a bumpy start, but climbed our way into a good alliance (or a “team” of 3 different robotics teams from throughout New England)—and with them, we won the ENTIRE EVENT!!

While, of course, it is such an absolute honor to be going to this event, it requires a hefty sum of money (of about $4000 per student). And we only have a week to fundraise as the competition begins on April 16th!!! We would really, really appreciate your help—any amount helps!! Team 839 graciously thanks you for supporting us to get to Houston!
