05 Fundraising
Help us
finish it.
Building a robot isn't cheap. We received a $2,000 school grant and raised another $600 through in-school fundraising — all of which has gone toward initial parts: the Jetson, cameras, drive system, and frame components.
The ball-shooter is still in production and the full system hasn't been integrated yet. We're raising $10,000 on GoFundMe to get Squat onto a real court at SquashBusters.

- Court testing sessions at SquashBustersTesting
- Player analysis and biomechanical tracking developmentSoftware
The Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano, cameras, and drive system are already funded. Everything above is what we still need to complete Squat and get it onto a SquashBusters court.
