Our team raises funds to support the costs to compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge events. This includes our materials to build the robot and the entry fees for competition events. Sponsors are the primary funding source for us each year - primarily through grants provided by companies who support Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) activities as part of their corporate outreach. Additionally, we coordinate events to generate funds from individual donations. Our experiment to leverage a MakerSpace is designed to lower the overall cost of an FTC team. Nova Labs Robotics provides space and tools for us.
Our budget for this season is $4,000. As of 9/27/17, sponsor donations total: $675.
