Re: The Fall of Team 858?
At the very least, you can build a kitbot. put some weights on it for traction and you got a good defensive robot with almost no more expenses. work your way up from there.
Working with limited funds and help is not fun, but it sure is challenging - and that's what FIRST is all about anyway. Try maximizing your team's effectiveness and usefulness on the field with what you have.
You can do some fund raising during the season, and it should be a very important goal for you in the offseason after LogoMotion.
Good luck, and may the FIRST be with you.
