Our robotics team 2022 has a preseason activity planned, and we're calling all Chicago land area FIRST teams!
The premise is such.
Our principal has been recently diagnosed with ALS.
(ALS, is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.)
Feeding himself is already becoming a tolling task, and robotics has the ability to better his life a bit.
Robotic arms can be bought for millions of dollars at the moment, but this technology should be available to everyone!
Our "game" is to develop a robotic arm that can be manufactured with less than $1500.

There are two types of competitors in this world, those who aim to rise above their opponents and those who seek to drag them down. Which group do you want to belong to? Which group is more beneficial to our society? Think about it. - Karthik [more]
