Hi everyone!
As you may know, international teams have a few limitations with bringing robot batteries and more tools to the championship. We are looking for teams that compete in the Houston championship and can help us - if you’ll be able to lend to us a few batteries or a robot cart to compete with we’ll be thrilled!
Thanks in advance,

Hi guys,
I’m from team #4320 The Joker from Israel
We will be attending at the world championship this year but we have a slight problem with our batteries and chargers, and it is that we won’t be able to bring enough.
And so we want to ask if any team will able to to help us and lend us some batteries and/or charger(s) for the championship
Please contact me via PM or gmail ad [email protected] and thank you in advance,
Daniel
For the cart, if you can’t line one up look up a Harbor Freight Tools, a Lowe’s, or a Home Depot. (There will be one within 10 miles of both Championship venues.) Any of them should have a furniture dolly that will get you through the week in a pinch, or (recommended if you’ve got the budget and vehicle space) a lawn carrier that has bigger air-filled tires. The latter will help you traverse more bumps and cable protectors in the venue and is generally more stable, plus it will have a handle to save you from bending over to push.
As for batteries, you should be able to get some from Spare Parts or you can order via AndyMark and we deliver to your pit. (If you do that, be sure to bring the battery cables or order those too.)
This doesn’t solve what to do with those items after Championship (suggestion: make some trade deals early on and then do the handoff Saturday) and obviously it costs money to do, but it would ensure you have the things you need. Hopefully, another team will offer these items up for you and you won’t have to shell out. 
(Full disclosure, I work at AndyMark.)
