Thank you for all of the team help so far!!!
The San Diego FTC region is putting out an all call for any spare REV Control Hub or Expansion Hubs to help out our Rookie Teams.
As most of you have heard, due to chip shortages REV can not ship either of these components maybe until as late as October AND our Rookie teams will need some. RISE is going to coordinate getting electronic sets to as many Rookie teams it can support, but we need any spares you might have.
REV itself is requesting teams to send in broken units to be repaired and we encourage you to do this ASAP to get them back in time for the season.
BUT if you have working spares you can donate or lend for Rookie teams to use until their devices are shipped to them, please do NOT send those to REV but instead email Matt Nilsen, SDFTC Program Delivery Partner, @ mnilsen@firstpartners.org so that he can arrange for these to be cataloged, picked up, put to use and returned when REV starts shipping units again.
