Re: What do you guys do with your old robots?

The Firebirds (433) have a program called DYR (donate your robot) for old robots.
A few years ago we adopted a school in Ghana, Africa, and we assisted them in forming the first FIRST team in Africa.
We used to bring them over here for build and competition season, but now try to bring robotics to them.
Over the past two years we have collected and shipped enough parts for the Ghanaian students to build three robots.
However, our goal is to be able to expand the program to other surrounding schools.
This is where you come in:
We are collecting old robots, parts, tools, control panels, etc for another shipment.
PM me if your team has anything they want to donate.

Thank you so much
