bmwohio Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hello CR! My friend began mentoring a Cincinnati, OH high school level robotics program recently, and they are trying to help these students get this program up and running. Just like all other schools right now, they don’t have the budget for many tools for the program. That’s where CR can help!! :thumbup: They are now looking to take the next step and the school is reaching out to get some dontated tools for the kids to be able to build their robots........ Do you know, or know anyone with some old machine shop tools, hand tools, etc. that they're willing to donate or get rid of cheaply? Specifically: band saws drill presses drills any hand tools (screw drivers, sockets/wrenches, ratchets, etc) tap sets bench vise(s) miter saws Additionally, extra funds are always welcomed (AND tax deductible!), and if you'd like to contribute that would be great too! It would be great if you would ship, but they can probably take care of shipping....... Please contact Andy @ andy.ciarniello@CHCA-OH.ORG Or, if it's easier, you can send me a PM and I will reach out to the right person at the school. Here's the craigslist ad they've posted: http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/wan/2754258667.html This is where organization that the school will be competing in --> http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms Any tools will help these kids, and we thank you in advance for any help that you can give! God bless, and Happy Holidays! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Would you be able to pick something up in the Sawmill area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwohio Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Would you be able to pick something up in the Sawmill area? Absolutely, just let me know when/where....what cha' got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I wish there had been something similar to thsi when I was in High School. Programs that encourage kids to *grow* rather than just pass are something I support. I'll donate a whole ratchet/bit set. I'm at the new Advance on Sawmill. I can't donate it as Advance, but I can do it myself. I'm here till 5 today, and 7:30 - 12:30 tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, where the old Blockbuster used to be, across Federated from Chipotle. 6520 actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I've been meaning to clean out my basement to finish it and I have enough electronic components to build an army of robots (with lasers.) In 30yrs of an electronics hobby I've collected a lot of motors, sensors, lasers, boxes of circuit boards and power supplies, etc... If they would be interested in it I'll donate most if not all of it to them. I also have lots of complete monitors, printers, and a few copy machines. Most of the motors are steppers with their control boards so they are easily made functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I could donate a giant Oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
