Robotics Student Team: Inquiry on Sponsorship or Discounts for NVIDIA Jetson Nano

Greetings,

I trust this correspondence finds you in good spirits. I am reaching out to inquire about the feasibility of securing parts sponsorship or a discount for the NVIDIA Jetson Nano for our esteemed team of undergraduate scholars hailing from COEP Technological University. We are presently engrossed in the intricate endeavor of conceptualizing and constructing autonomous robots for their application in various fields.

Allow me to present our distinguished team and accentuate our noteworthy accomplishments thus far. We proudly participated in the DD ROBOCON 2017 and won ,then went on representing team India in the internationals in Japan clinching the 6th position overall. Subsequently, We have been participating in RoboCon Continuously achieving impressive results every year.

As we press forward with our endeavor, we recognize the profound potential of integrating the NVIDIA Jetson Nano into our robot’s architecture. Its formidable computational prowess and adeptness in AI processing render it an optimal choice for our autonomous robotics platform.

Nevertheless, as an undergraduate team with finite financial resources, we encounter impediments in procuring the requisite components to propel our project forward. Hence, we respectfully solicit your support through potential parts sponsorship or a discounted arrangement for the NVIDIA Jetson Nano. Your gracious assistance would empower us to transcend the boundaries of robotics and contribute substantively to technological progress in this domain.

We ardently believe that collaboration between NVIDIA and academic communities such as ours can serve as a catalyst for innovation, nurturing talent, and propelling technological advancement.

Please do not hesitate to reach out for further elucidation regarding our team, encompassing our background, achievements, and ongoing initiatives. I stand ready to furnish any supplementary information conducive to exploring potential collaborative avenues.

We eagerly anticipate your response and extend our heartfelt appreciation for any guidance, suggestions, or assistance you may provide. Should you require additional documentation or information, please do not hesitate to apprise us, and we shall promptly furnish it.

Thank you for your discerning attention and kind consideration.

Warm regards,
