The
rumour is true!
Team 188 will not be attending championships for the first time since its creation in 1998. Despite this, we feel it's been one of the most enjoyable, and successful years we've ever had! We've had a chance to see first hand the kind generosity shared by FIRST teams, eg 22 who took us into their homes so that we could compete at the SoCal regional.
We know our season is over, but it's not over for 340 teams waiting to compete in Atlanta! So now it's time to give back to the FIRST community...
We're hoping to help any Atlanta-bound team who may need a tetra-grabber. We have a spare tetra grabber, that can hold two tetras, and drop them independantly. A picture is attached to this post.
If your team needs it, or wants to try it to help your robot - the tetra grabber is yours!
Here are a few details about the offer:
- grabber will be delivered to Atlanta by a Canadian team attending the championships
- we will include, with the grabber, all BOM and cost accounting for materials and labour on CD and hardcopy
- we will certify that it was constructed within the legal time frame parameters
- the grabber will be completely assembled and should "work out of the box"
- there is no obligation to even use the grabber (if you try it, and it doesn't work well, or the way you want it to, put it aside and forget about it! We want to help, not give you more headaches
)
- no kind of recognition is necessary or is expected
- this offer is open to any team attending Atlanta
- we only have one grabber to give away, so if more than one team is interested, we will try and give it to the team that "needs" it the most
If you have any questions about the grabber or the offer, please post in this thread, or PM me!
If you have comments/questions about
rules and the legality, please post in
this thread. I would like to keep this thread dedicated to anyone who might be interested in taking the grabber.
