Support

Why you should support us:

We are a rookie STEM team that needs funds to create the robot which we will use in the competition. Funding is an important part of building a robot, especially for high-stakes competitions like FRC. We come to the competition to win, and this competition means a lot to us. The FRC competition is an exhilarating experience for our members, fostering creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. However, it also demands substantial resources. With budgets often exceeding $30,000 (and some teams reaching six digits), every dollar is put to good use. Currently, our team operates with a budget ranging from $10,000 to $15,000. While we are grateful for the support we receive from our school and parents, this budget places limitations on our performance potential. If you were to support us, your contribution would be greatly appreciated and we will provide you with our sponsor benefits.

How you should support us:

Companies: To support us, companies can sponsor us. Sponsors get benefits which includes exposure. Further info on sponsor benefits can be found in the sponsors (hyperlink) tab. To become a sponsor, please contact us to set up a meeting.

Team members: Team members can support the team by volunteering with the robot and helping around with progress. Families of team members can support the team by volunteering as a parent mentor. Both team members and their families can support by donating. 

Individuals: Individuals can call us or email us if they would like to provide support or share their expertise. They can also donate to us if they wish or be a mentor.

Mentors: Mentors can help with one or more of our divisions’ work and share their experience to help us with our robot. Mentors are a great help to us because we are a rookie team without much knowledge of what to do, and mentors can give us that information.
