Ahem! Attention, citizens of science and supporters of splendid machinery!

It is I, General Mayhem of Trial & Error Robotics, emerging from a cloud of solder smoke and sawdust to deliver a most thrilling announcement: We are holding a raffle! And not just any raffle—oh no! This one features a magnificent, 42-inch Husky toolbox, generously donated by our local Home Depot (the noble keepers of all things bolt and beam).

Now, why should you join this fine affair, you ask? Because every ticket you purchase helps our team remain cost-free to join, fuels our brilliant summer projects, and powers our pursuit of robotic glory in the new season. That’s right—your contribution keeps the gears turning and the innovation flowing!

Tickets are just $10 each, or you can snatch up 5 for a discounted $40—because who doesn’t love a good deal, eh?

Should you wish to contribute electronically, simply include the keyword “Raffle” along with your full name and phone number in the payment description via Venmo or Cash App. Hang tight—I’ll shoot you a text in the next day or two to confirm your ticket. Chaos takes time! You may also find us at various outreach events, where we shall be selling tickets in person (I’ll be the one in the fedora, lab coat, and slightly singed mustache).

The grand drawing will take place on May 15, 2025! Will your name be drawn? Only the gears of fate can say!
