Electric Wheelchair Kit FRC Team 1577

Typical electric wheelchairs usually cost around 2,500$, and while it could turn around the life of whoever needs it, not everyone can justify spending such a grand amount of money, and are left stuck with rented wheelchairs. Our kit connects to standard rented wheelchairs without damaging them at that slightest and makes them mobile in a simplistic manner, for a fraction of the price, around 500$.
While every part of our kit can be bought separately, and be assembled using the tools in your disposal and a 3D printer, this kit has the added bonus of being comprised of parts which are abundant with every FRC team worldwide, meaning your local FRC team would be able to assemble your newly fashioned wheelchair.

Amazing. Was this for any sort of competition, or does y'all's robotics team regularly mill out new tech and builds every so often?

[@SteamPunk1577]

Thank you. This project was not part of any competition. It was just a way that we saw that we could implement technology and Robotics to help our community as well as others around the world.

[@seanc8069]

A lot of teams do off-season projects to train new robotics students, this isn't part of the competition they compete in.
