01
Competition registration
Registration gives the team a place to put months of engineering work on the field.
SUPPORT TEAM 2856
Support Team 2856's competition season.
Sponsor support pays for the materials, tools, registration, and travel that let students design a robot and bring it to competition.
WHY SPONSORSHIP MATTERS
What it takes to complete an FRC season.
FIRST Robotics gives students a deadline, a difficult game, and a reason to put classroom skills to work. Sponsor support helps cover the unglamorous essentials behind that opportunity—from the stock on the workbench to the trip that brings the finished robot to an event.
That support gives students room to test ideas, recover from mistakes, improve the machine, and learn what collaborative engineering feels like under real constraints.
WHAT SUPPORT ENABLES
From kickoff to competition.
Needs change with each game, but these categories remain central to building a robot and giving students a complete FRC season.
02
Travel and lodging
Transportation and lodging help students, mentors, tools, and the robot reach competition.
03
Raw materials
Metal, sheet goods, fasteners, and fabrication stock become the structure and mechanisms of the robot.
04
Electronics and parts
Motors, sensors, controllers, wiring, and standard components connect software to the machine.
05
Tools and upgrades
Reliable tools, replacement parts, and targeted improvements keep the build moving safely.
06
Team outreach
Event materials, team apparel, and community outreach help students share what they have built.
MORE THAN A CHECK
Materials, equipment, and professional services help too.
Financial contributions are valuable, but organizations can also help by providing materials, parts, supplies, tools, equipment, or useful services. If you have something that may fit the team's current needs, the best first step is to ask.
- Raw materials and fabrication stock
- Robot parts, electronics, and shop supplies
- Tools, equipment, and useful professional services
