Team Sponsors

Would you or your business like to donate to our team, but is not sure how? Then donate to our team! We are a 501(c) non-profit organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. Here, on our WishList page, we have listed all items and services that would be graciously appreciated it they could be donated to us. Every donor will be listed on our website. If you or your company would like to donate any of the items on this list to our team, please contact our Team Coach.

Items / Services Wish List:

Here is a partial list of many items and services that are needed for our team, whether it's for our FVC team, FRC team, public relations efforts, and more. The color of each item is an indication of how needed the item is: red items are crucial, while yellow items are still needed, but not of utmost importance.

1 Ton (or greater) Arbor Press

One of the most cruucial tools needed by our team at the moment is an arbor press in working condition. With an arbor press, our team would be able to "key" shafts and press fit gears onto shafts, both of which we often need each year to finish our robot.

1/8" Broaches

Having a set of 1/8" broaches, along with the the above mentioned arbor press, would allow our team to key shafts for "live axle" drive-trains, elevators, arms, and more.

Sheet Metalworking Equipment

Any manual sheet metalworking equipment, such as manual rollers, benders, and sheer brakes would be a great asset to our team. Having the ability to fabricate simple, non-CNC sheet metal parts "inhouse" would be a great asset to our team.

Tube/Pipe Bender

A tube/pipe bender, whether mechanical or hydraulic, would also be a great asset to our team. The ability to use accurately bent tubing on our robot has long been a goal for our team.

Aluminum Welding Equipment

It goes without saying that an aluminum welder (MIG, TIG, etc.) would be extremely useful for a team which builds their robots primarily out of aluminum.

Home Powder-Coating Equipment

While many of our CNC machined parts are powdercoated orange before they are returned to our team, all of the parts we fabricate or machine in our shop aren't as lucky. A "home" powder-coating system would allow our team to powdercoat all of our small parts we machine in our shop, and allow our team to continue making great looking robots.

Vex Robotics Design System Kits

During the summer and fall months, these kits would be extremely useful for our FVC team and their competition robot, but that is not their only use on our team. During the winter and spring months, they work as an amazing rapid prototyping platform for testing and refining ideas, as well as having the ability to create accurate 1/3 scale versoins of our robot and playing field, to assist in public relations activities.

Aluminum and Lexan (polycarbonate) raw materials

Quite literally the main ingredients of any FRC robot, the donation of either these materials to our team would be extremely useful. Lexan Polycarbonate plastic is used extensively for shielding and low-stress parts, while aluminum is used for chassis, pillow blocks, machined parts, and more.
