Thank you to everyone who supported our fall 2025 campaign!
Dear friends of Anteater Electric Racing,
Thank you for supporting our fall 2025 ZotFunder campaign! Because of you, we raised $5,355! We are truly grateful to everyone who donated, shared our page and encouraged our team. Your support helps our students keep building, learning and competing at UC Irvine.
We are putting these funds into work for our vehicle right away. Alongside our other team resources and sponsorship support, your donations help us move from design into manufacturing, assembly and testing. In the next few months, we plan to use the $5,355 raised in several key areas: $1,500 for chassis materials and fabrication support (including tubing and cutting supplies), $3,355 for battery components (including cells, filament, and sheet metal/insulation) and $500 for composites materials (including carbon fiber, resin and consumables for wet layups).
We are excited to share more updates as soon as parts arrive and manufacturing ramps up. Thank you again for being a part of our community and for helping us make real progress this season!
Sincerely,
Anteater Electric Racing Team
