We’re Steampunk 1577 from Israel.
We’ve qualified from the Israeli District, and we are attending Houston Championship.
Due to safety reasons we’ve a hard time to bring batteries with us to the United States.
We are looking for teams who attend the Championship and can lend us a few, we will be very grateful!
Some other things besides batteries that could be really helpful:
Semi crazy question: it sounds like what you really need is a complete pit… My team is the closest geographically to worlds, but I’m not expecting we will qualify. I can ask my team about loaning you some or all of our pit. Of course, you’d have a lot of orange around
We’ve got a “superpit”, robot cart, and toolbox that make up our usual pit; no stands or framework for projectors.
I assume you are running the standard Anderson connector on your batteries? That’s what we use…
Here’s our pit full of robot:
We’re shipping two or three batteries in the crate and buying at least four more to be delivered there with plans to bring them back with us. That’s what we’ve done in past years and it’s worked out fine for us. In the worst case if we need a lot of batteries back-to-back we’ll ask to borrow from our pit neighbors.
Pit comes with one free programming captain, loyal to whatever team currently occupies the pit
Qualifications:
Writes too much code
Does lots of electrical stuff
Does mech stuff occasionally
Wears an orange team shirt
Knows how to say good morning in Hebrew
Our team has power strips and extension cords and we will probably bring extra, pm me if you haven’t found someone who can lend those and we can stay in touch and see what we can do!
