Expansion Hub for Expand Challenges

Help me give my students the ability to expand their robot projects to be able to compete with the schools around them. This expansion hub will allow my students to push to their next level.

My Project

My students are going to be competing the robotics competition FIRST technical challenge. This means that they will be pushed to design, program, and build a competitive robot. The challenge with these competitions is students must have all the tools that they need to be successful. This is the first year that our school will be competing so we are standing at a disadvantage by not already having what we need. We had foregone getting the expansion hub.

However, this expansion hub is a much bigger deal than it might seem.

It turns out the expansion hub is instrumental to access and learning the very tools that industry and other robotics teams use. Without this hub, integration and learning from other teams is improbable. This hub allows us to have access to many of the same tools that teams that many of the most competitive teams have. This expansion hub will open the doors for students to work with and learn from all the other teams and the soulders of the giants before them. With this hub, students will learn more integrated and instrumental systems that are not possible without it. I know that students will get better if they had access to more tools like this. I know they will gain a breadth of knowledge with the access this hub gives.
