Please 🥺🙏 I even wrote a poem!

Hi kind adoptmegiveaways community! I was wondering if anyone had any dango penguins, therapy dogs, happy duckling, flower power duckling, pea chick, chick, hopbop, snorgle, snow monkey, snowball pug, I would really appreciate it as these are pets that I've been wanting for a while but I still haven't been able to get my hands on! To further convince you I have a poem here:

Hi kind Adopt Me Giveaways community! I was wondering if anyone had pets to spare for me I’ve been searching far and wide, But these dream pets still seem to hide.

Dango penguins, therapy dogs too, Happy ducklings bright as dew, Flower power ducklings full of style, Pea chicks that always make me smile!

Chicks and hopbops, snorgles as well, Snow monkeys casting a wintery spell, And snowball pugs so fluffy and sweet, They’d make my small collection complete!

I’d really appreciate any help I can get, These are some dream pets I haven’t found yet. I can’t offer much, that much is true, So kindness is all I’m asking from you

Even just one would brighten my day, And I’d treasure it always, not trade it away!

Guesses on what the other things we'll need to are?

What could they be? So far im thinking "deposit pollen somewhere" could be one

Im really curious as to what else you guys think as im guessing its going to be this exact number of stuff

Why do some starterbot designs have 3 wheels?

Hi there, so I'm still pretty new to FTC, and I was looking at the bases of the starter bots that were recently released. Last season most of the starter bots (GoBilda, Studica and AndyMarks) and most bots i saw had a total of 4 wheels, 2 on each side. But looking at the new base designs I've noticed that the gobilda and REV designs have a total of 6 wheels. Why?? What advantage does this give?? And is it a big advantage?

Sooo our team is looking into deadwheel odometry as it seems to be something that will really up both our auto and teleop especially since we will need to effectively intake pollen during autonomous, but looking into it it look like we will need to purchase a few things but unfortunately we are completely broke and have no budget to buy ANYTHING. However, 3d printing is definitely an option. Oh also we dont have any additional motors, but I'm unsure if we will need those for the deadwheels. So far we were thinking about maybe 3d printing deadwheels somehow and then using the control hub as imo somehow

Honestly any help and guidance would really help as we're quite unsure how to tackle this issue...

And is it even possible to implement odometry and deadwheels with no budget? Has anyone done this before and is it really hard? We are not as experienced in complex programming. Is it possible to build functional dead wheels using 3D-printed parts? Do dead wheels require additional motors, or can they work purely passively with encoders? And if they don't require motors then what do the encoders attach to? And do we need an additional imu cause again we have no budget left.

Also we don't use mecanum wheels (can't afford them lol) and we use a tank drive. And if you tell us to get money via sponsorship and fundraising, if we succeed in that aspect the money will be used towards logistical reasons and the field.

Tyyy!

So our team is thinking to preorder the field soon before it sells out and so that we don't have to frantically worry about it in September, and we were wondering if it's better to purchase the full or the partial field. We're not very abundant in money right now but we do know that practicing with half a field can be limiting depending on the season. We really want to maximise our opportunities of reaching events such as world champions but we also have to be reasonable in terms of price. Is it worth it to buy a full field? Or is it fine with just a partial? Any opinion would help!
