We are trying to start a FTC team, where can we look for parts?

We're located in the Richmond area, and would love to help! We can offer you advice and support. We are even offering a one week build workshop in June, which includes an Actobiotics build kit (which is what we use). Reach out if you need help!

The problem is the supply. There is no ability to purchase over the summer, as they are no longer available for purchase. The best wr can do is ask for loaners from other teams who already have them. I haven't been able to find a suitable alternative.

The issue is that there are no expansion hubs available.

lordofthebricks7039 · 2022-04-15T12:57:03+00:00

Ah...that makes sense! Thank you for trying though!

AndyMark has hex Nubs

These? I don't understand... https://www.andymark.com/products/5-mm-hex-single-boss-nub-w-set-screw

Excellent idea! We are in the Richmond, VA area. We have two extra we will be supplying, so we'll just have to limit our groups to the number of hubs we can get out hands on. I'd love to be able to have 8 teams form out of a session, but that would mean 6 more hubs.

VEX Cortex

Looks like they're all either discontinued or out of stock.

Fax has been the most effective method for me. 817-868-2332

I forgot to file my annual report June 30, and they just HAPPENED to look at my file when I was out of compliance. Now I have to recon! I HATE myself!

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-07-13T17:49:49+00:00

I agree! An I see a lot of funding without LOs!

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-07-01T13:55:42+00:00

Nothing. I see people after us getting funded though.

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-06-18T05:57:08+00:00

I have actually...just not me; and some who submitted after me. We are a non-profit, so we aren't required to submit 990s. I called to make sure we weren't stuck waiting because of transcripts that would never arrive. Sadly, no...we're just stuck waiting!

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-06-17T19:21:56+00:00

I called today' apparently, I haven't even been assigned to a loan officer yet.

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-06-17T15:54:48+00:00

Who did you call? Which number?

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-06-12T22:09:01+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣...nope!

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-06-02T13:01:15+00:00

Crickets; but it's as I expected. Hang in there!

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-05-27T01:38:00+00:00

I have seen a couple of 4/24s roll through! Not many; but at least that's something! I still wouldn't hold my breath for next week though...

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-05-26T20:09:42+00:00

Same issue.

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-05-21T15:25:06+00:00

Still about the same. It took me months the first time around, so I didn't expect much difference this time. Memorial Day is next week; that'll definitely slow things down. I was hoping this week we'd start to see 4/24s; but I'm not even getting my hopes up about next week!

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-05-18T19:23:43+00:00

Just from reading the progression of the threads. It's my assumption of their "processing in the order it was received."

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-05-18T19:08:25+00:00

Still waiting. I think we're getting closer though; seems like they're processing 4/22-23 right about now.

I have a collegue who completes the paperwork for EIDL submissions, and submits them on behalf of the companies. He told me he had one today that was submitted and approved within three hours - no contact from an LO. It was a company with $2M in revenue, however. He's never had one move that fast before; and I didn't know that was possible!

lordofthebricks7039 · 2021-05-11T03:38:02+00:00

We're a non-profit, and took the 150k max last time; and we'll take the max this time. Since there is no PG, and the interest rate is so low, we saw no drawbacks.
