Here are some items that the team could use to enhance the experience for the students and make the team operate more efficiently. These items are outside of our normal budget we receive from students and sponsors. If you are able to help with purchasing or donating these items, please contact us, or use the donation page and note how you would like to help. Thank you for your support!
Trailer – $7500
The team needs a reliable way to transport our robot, tools and equipment to team events. Currently the team relies on either the generosity of others with large vehicles to transport these items or must reserve trucks at considerable expense to the team. A trailer would provide a reliable means of transportation to our events, with some storage capacity between events.
Pit Organization System – $6500
During competition, speed of repair is important in our pits, which relies on an organized, efficient workspace, along with plenty of light and a solid work surface. While we do require something as fancy as the custom pit shown ($10000+), we would like to have a solution that allows a more organized area for our mechanical, electrical and programming pit crew using pre-configured tool cabinets.
Computers – $3500
Our computers have not been updated for a few years now. The computers are used for programming and operating the robot during competition and testing. We would like to update the computers to stay ahead of obsolescence.
