Current Needs
The Lynk Robotics Team Mobile Pit/Workshop
For those who would like to partner with us towards a specific goal, our current big need is to establish a mobile workshop with all the necessary tools for robot development and maintenance, organized and packaged in a way that we can both work from it on a regular basis and take it to events. Below's a document describing this in more detail.
