I think it'd be a good idea to get some loose battery connectors. We've had mismatched before and having loose ones means we can cut it off and rewire.

Non-Electronics/Tools

In addition to my previous list, the following has also been ordered:

  • Bottled Water
  • Snacks (granola+breakfast bars, fruit gummies, pretzels, slim jims, nuts)
  • Portable Fans
  • Suntan Lotion
  • Clipboards
  • Extension Cords & Power Strips

Lunch will be catered. Nothing fancy. Think Costco party trays. ;-)

Hi Chris,

Sorry I misunderstood your question in the previous email about the power supply. I thought you were just looking for a replacement for the out of stock one.

You're right that it's just a power supply, and needs a separate charger as well. This will do:

(Some chargers have a built in power supply, but have a much lower power rating).

Also, would recommend buying some 6600mAh batteries in addition to the 4000mAh, some teams may prefer the higher capacity at the cost of weight:

Thanks!

Best,

Lukas
