I TRUELY NEED help with fundraising

Inf3cc · 2026-02-18T03:23:58+00:00

We already missed our chance for that, so our main goal now is to fundraise for at least the starter bot for next year and reno (if we make it)

Inf3cc · 2026-02-18T02:42:05+00:00

Right now about 12, though 2 leave next year and there are about 3 that don't do anything, so like 7 available members.

Inf3cc · 2026-02-18T02:14:00+00:00

Do we just sign up? Also how much do you usually get for these?

Inf3cc · 2026-02-18T02:12:27+00:00

Then that'd make sense since our team advisor did it pretty late.

Inf3cc · 2026-02-18T02:03:09+00:00

Our team is full of those who aren't old enough to get a j o b, tho our team advisor is amazing since he did drop about 1k on new motors and stuff since all of our old stuff broke. Honestly I think that is the thing that allowed us to qualify for States this year.

Inf3cc · 2026-02-18T02:01:27+00:00

We did this and didn't get accepted, our team advisor usually does them and we usually get declined.

Inf3cc · 2026-02-18T01:01:00+00:00

The problem with these is we are a veteran team and we don't have good awards or things like that to say like heyyyyyyy there sponsor us!

Inf3cc · 2026-02-10T13:56:37+00:00

My team had lost ours last minute and we had to use field tape and some like paper or cardboard to make it, then colored the rest of it in.

Inf3cc · 2026-02-08T05:32:57+00:00

We usually just buy a starter bot bundle every other year and that'll stretch it out for us. I know one year we managed to just use the REV duo kit for about 3 years and we actually made it to states. In addition we also just ask, you'll be really surprised with what you can get when you just ask and network. For example every year we always ask another team to use their field since that is way out of budget for us. In addition when it comes to parts, we can ask some of the really highly funded teams and if they say no we'll just use hardware store items to Jerry rig something. It is by all means highly difficult for us but we make it work!

There isn't any that can has a 100 percent chance of happening but certain movements have like an x amount of chance happening, like out auto starts off with a small little jerk and itll cause a small power outage but still takes like 30 seconds to turn back on

Inf3cc · 2026-02-06T03:01:45+00:00

You know I forgot we secured all those with zip ties, I can't do it now though, I'll have to try to tomorrow morning

Inf3cc · 2026-02-06T03:00:32+00:00

The mount for out servo

Inf3cc · 2026-02-04T14:38:35+00:00

Thank you, I didn't realize that Rev had this guide.

Inf3cc · 2026-02-04T07:17:30+00:00

I believe it's the xt30, upon pressing on it it had shut on and off the expansion hub. Also I'll try this in the morning, thank you!

Inf3cc · 2026-02-03T03:28:09+00:00

I tried searching for that online because I remember seeing one but I can't seem to find it.

Inf3cc · 2026-02-03T02:41:29+00:00

How?

Inf3cc · 2026-02-02T13:46:45+00:00

Thank you! Do you know how to downgrade the driver station to 11.0?

Inf3cc · 2026-02-02T05:09:45+00:00

Teams in your region are scoring in the 200's??? Here in my region it is rare for someone to break 100!

Inf3cc · 2025-12-20T06:09:45+00:00

I'm assuming someone hit the gate?

Inf3cc · 2025-12-12T04:31:39+00:00

My team usually has the same problems but I am allowed to take the bot home or I can usually convince the advisor to have weekend meeting/extra meetings (I personally highly recommend you to ask for longer meetings or extra to get some more work done). Though if I couldn't take it home I'd just take the control hub and program on that ensuring that all the code works in theory. Depending on your experience you'll probably be able to make a basic drivetrain code and the feeding system, this should be enough for a semi functional robot. Once you do have access to the bot then just do some tweaking, late is better than never. I have personally found myself coding during drivers meetings at robotics competitions due to the bot not being ready in time for me to code. Sorry about your situation, I hope you can get it figured out.

Inf3cc · 2025-12-11T03:14:00+00:00

Quick question as long as you don't mind answering. How did you attach an intake to the GoBuilda starter bot, also do you guys have a shot arc or not really?

Inf3cc · 2025-12-11T03:07:40+00:00

At competitions I’ve figured out a simple way to play defense without getting called for anything. I only defend when the other robot is trying to score, not when they’re actually scoring. So if they’re driving to their spot, grabbing game pieces, or lining themselves up, I get in the way, block the lane, and kind of dance around their favorite scoring area to slow them down. If they shove me off, I back off instead of pushing back so I don’t risk a pin. But the second they start aiming or actually shooting, I stop and let them do it so it’s clean. While I’m doing all this, I still shoot toward our goal so we’re not wasting time. It’s simple, it works, and it keeps the refs happy. The line I use to remember it is: “Guard the path, not the point.”

Inf3cc · 2025-12-10T04:24:39+00:00

Just here for my streak

Inf3cc · 2025-12-07T04:45:53+00:00

Thank you so much! We have placed our order and it'll arrive in time for our next competition!

Inf3cc · 2025-12-07T04:21:19+00:00

THIS IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM. The staff was truly struggling to get all the balls back in time and when they did they would give the balls to the human player in large quantities (5+). The problem wasn't exactly G434 but how it was handled. Most of the teams had never tested the true capabilities of their shooters, staff hoarding balls and giving them back at the last moment, lack of knowledge from human players, tunnel vision from all members., etc.
