I'm really sorry to hear about this. We have the complete KOP frame unused, wheels, sprockets that we will be ready to supply to you guys, I will call and see if we can get a pair of KOP transmissions. We do have all of our pneumatics too. I will also check and see if we have additional electronics. For anyone else coming to NYC, please post a list of items that you can contribute to 759 in the event that they cannot get their bot shipped out. We're going to have a bot building party on Thursday. Let's work together to see how competitive of a robot we can make together. 759, please have your team think of what they may want, and do not hesistate to ask. I propose a platform multiloader using a pneumatic dump from the human loader that will allow you to run around and dump large numbers of tetras under the goals. And I know we can do this is one day, but what would be better is if we could help 759 build an effective capper collectively. I know this is a far stretch from the robot that you guys spent so much time on, but we at NYC will do anything we can to make sure you guys still compete. Richard, please forward this post to the rest of the teams coming to NYC and inform them of the situation, and ask them to send e-mails to wayne.penn@columbia.edu so we can coordinate having a contingency plan availble to our friends from the UK. Denman, the NYC Regional would not be the same without you guys. Please keep me posted, feel free to PM me.
Best,
Wayne
