Hey! Our team of 3 (with me being the person who submits) will spend this school year working on a robot for RoboCup Junior's Rescue Line challenge. Our competition will take place in April, and our goal is to secure first place, allowing us to compete internationally at the RCJ 2026 event in South Korea.

We want to participate in Blueprint to secure funding for some of the components that go into making this robot, including motors, a Jetson Nano, batteries, and other external supplies.

Here's a rough timeline for us so far: August: Planning Stage September–October: 3D Modeling October–December: Building January–April: Coding and Testing

Bill of Materials (refer to bom.csv): NOTE: I already talked to two reviewers from Blueprint abt the fact that I need to purchase my parts from Amazon due to robotics team requirements and recommendations from past winners. Moreover, for the parts I wish to buy, I have already tested some of the AliExpress versions, like the VL6180X. This turned out to be extremely imprecise and inconsistent, even with calibration, which is why we would like to focus on Amazon (and Polulu/Adafruit if needed) so we can purchase the exact parts we need and return any excess parts if required.
