Teams in the Seattle area, please read!

Is there any store where we can for sure buy 4-6 batteries? This is very important to our team, so any help would be great.

Thank you all,

Hey,
My team will be up in seattle but what kind of battery are you talking about?

Here's a link of a directory for Seattle that helped us find things around our hotel. Hope it helps!

I am pretty sure Manoel is talking about robots battery... His team is from Brazil, and from what I heard, they are having a hard time buying the robot batteries, AND take them on the plane with them when coming to US for competition.

So, I am pretty sure they are trying to buy batteries after they get to Seattle... I am wondering, maybe some local teams can buy some for them ahead of time, and bring to the regional so they can use the extra batteries at Seattle...

Either way, it's still nice to know where teams up there buy extra batteries...

Ken is right, we want to buy batteries in Seattle, preferrably in a place we know in advance that sells them, or maybe a team that could get them for us (we'd pay, of course). However, that list of stores may be useful if we don't have anything else.

Thanks,

[Manoel]

Anyone, please?

We're coming from California and our bags are already packed to the max, from taking tools up to food to spirit stuff, yikes! I don't know how we got to maximum capacity even though I only limited myself to one personal bag, a first for me!

My suggestion would be to go to the first website and get the list of teams going to seattle under the regional section. From there, you can start emailing teams to see if they could help. Try the teams up in Seattle becaues the know the area well or could just buy them since they don't have to worry about transporting extra luggage on an airplane, like us.
