Re: We are struggling.

You are from Blythewood, SC? I would definitely consider reaching out to other teams for help. I am up in Greenville, SC but would be more than happy to help from a distance however I can.

I would say the best advice for a team struggling with resources is to simplify. Focus on getting a solid, running base for Palmetto and then go from there. Being a defensive robot has significant value, especially this year.

Also, you'd be surprised how many materials you can buy from a local hardware store and what other teams may be willing to even give you.

When you get to Palmetto there will also be teams (1319 included) who can pitch in to help you get up and running.

If you want to talk more please feel free to send me a private message.
