Request to Lend Batteries (Israeli Team 3339)
 

Hi, we're team 3339 BumbleB.
We have won the regional in Israel and we are attending the championship.
Due to safety reasons we are not allowed to bring batteries with us to the United States.
We look for teams who attend the Championship and can lend us a few, we will be very grateful.

Please contact me here or via PM.
Thank you :)

1086 would be more than happy to share batteries with you. Come look us up in St. Louis.

I believe FIRST will have batteries available for International teams (2 per team?). Send them an e-mail to let them know you are coming and will need batteries.

Re: Request to Lend Batteries (Israeli Team 3339)
 

2 batteries isn't enough for a competition. MAYBE this year with a low-energy robot. But in general, you want at least twice that.

Buy them from AndyMark and get them at champs.

Congratulations on your regional win!

Team 2530, Inconceivable will be happy to lend you batteries. Look us up!

Re: Request to Lend Batteries (Israeli Team 3339)
 

But I doubt that they could take them home, due to the same safety considerations.

Team 1311 would be happy to share :) Feel free to PM me.

Re: Request to Lend Batteries (Israeli Team 3339)
 

Team 1640 can loan at least one battery.

Team pwnage 2451 would be happy to lend your team a battery or two.

Awesome to see so much sharing!

Just wanted to confirm that while I was reading the robot shipping instructions the document does say for international teams NOT to bring batteries, FIRST will provide them for you at Spare Parts. As someone said above it's always good to have more than just a couple, but at least you'll be covered either way.

Can't wait to meet you all!

2590 should be able to help as well, come find us if you don't have enough! We were running 16 chargers into 19 batteries (Now 18, one died ]: ) at some of our events to support multiple teams (i.e. at Hatboro Horsham districts, where they were rushing to get stuff done faster due to impending weather).

Re: Request to Lend Batteries (Israeli Team 3339)
 

FIRST will have batteries there to lend out too. No worries.

Re: Request to Lend Batteries (Israeli Team 3339)
 

Team 1208 will have at least 10 batteries for teams traveling from abroad.

Re: Request to Lend Batteries (Israeli Team 3339)
 

I would think the X-Cats, Team 191, can help you with batteries.

Welcome to the United States!
