[NSRCA-discussion] D4 Scoring System

[Lewis McNickle]

OK, here’s where we stand:
Yesterday we decided to buy an electronic scoring system at a cost of roughly $2000.  The NSRCA will give us $500 towards the system and we agreed to use $1000 of the roughly $1400 we have in our treasury (Dave’s sock) and raise the remaining $500 through donations.
At this point I have received $550 in donations from four donors.
But
I contacted Peter Vogel about exact cost and it turns out that we can buy a system for $2050…the exact amount we have on hand…but that only includes four controllers.  The controllers seem to be the weak link in the system, so if we only have four and one fails we’re out of business.
The system with eight controllers costs $2756.91.
Several guys at the contest offered donations and three have come through already.  If you would like to donate, please contact me off list.
