As we conclude our fourth week in the build season, we want to provide you some updates on our progress. Our robot “Sparky the Sparkan” has come to life as we have successfully built and programmed a drivable chassis. There are only three weeks left before we ship our robot to compete in Victoria, so we are working hard to finish building the arm and wheel-intake mechanism that will allow us to move the cone and cube game pieces. You can see some photos below of our design prototypes.

We are still in need of financial help to buy the last parts (motors, gearboxes, metal) to finish building our robot. We immensely appreciate your donations to our Go Fund Me: Sparkans Robotics GoFundMe. 

Also, if your company would like to sponsor our team, please share our website with them for sponsorship details https://sparkans-robotics.ca/

We appreciate you sharing this information with your networks.

Lastly, don’t forget to follow the Sparkans social media to stay up to date with our build progress and competition updates.

Thanks for your support,

Sparkans
