Hi there! first off i hope that all teams had a peaceful ship day (ha ha, ya right!). I am part of team 675 and i have a favor to ask of all teams. I am building a bot for the team on my own and i don’t quite have the resources to build everything on my own. I was wondering if any teams have any pneumatics parts ( compressor, cylinders, hosing, solenoids, fittings, any other unused parts.) that you would be willing to donate to this bot. I plan on building the four speed transmissions that were whitepapered by team 33. But any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
you should contact 971 in Mountain View, CA. They used modified 33 transmissions last year, and also have a decent amount of un-used pneumatics kicking around.
You should definitely post your needs on the Chief Delphi Swap board (“CD-Swap”), located at the top of every webpage, or directly at:http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/parts.php (Hint: If you also can somehow FILL someone’s need, I’m sure they’d be even MORE willing to help you out with some of their surplus parts.)
** BTW, everyone should check out CD-SWAP! ** There are a LOT of teams*** still*** offering things, as well as requesting things they desperately need. You can help out a lot of teams there.
(For example, in addition to our needs, for those that can’t afford to fly we’re offering all of our surplus luxury bus seats on CD-Swap, both between SE MI and St Louis, and also between SE MI and Atlanta. Come party down and back with us for a fraction of Detroit-Atlanta airfare, with no gate hassles nor luggage restrictions!)
