The Lilypad Project, adopted by Westlake’s FRC2468, provides hand-painted wooden attachments for IV poles. Kids sit on lilypad-shaped seats while their parents walk them down hospital halls, giving kids mobility and putting smiles on their faces. We cut, prepare, hand-paint, and deliver these lilypads to hospitals across Austin and near every regional tournament we attend, having donated 80 so far. We have also partnered with local schools to design and decorate these Lilypads and are reaching out to other robotics teams and schools out of the state. For more information or for ways to support the project, contact lilypad@frc2468.org.
