See it before you decide
We build a working prototype of your site first, tested at phone width as we go. You look at it, tell us what's off, and decide from there.
Chapter 06 · Sponsors
The people who power the duck.
FLL & FTC robots aren't cheap and rookie teams are even more expensive with initial startup costs. We are deeply grateful to the organizations that have invested in us, and we're looking for partners for the 2026–27 season. Run a local business? You can back us another way, too: we'll build or update your website.
2026–27 season
Who's behind us this season.

Your logo2026–27 season
Nobody has taken this season yet. A sponsor's logo goes on the robot we're building right now, on our jerseys, and on the outreach we bring to younger teams — here's what sponsoring looks like.
Mentor teams · consultation support
Team Spyder and Σ-Motion
Special thanks to Team Spyder — FRC 1622, out of Poway High School — for guidance and mentorship. They've been generous with their time and patient with every question we've brought to them as we ramp into FTC.
Σ-Motion — FRC 2658, out of Rancho Bernardo High School — consults with us through the season: design reviews, build questions, and the kind of answers that only come from a team who has already been there. They're student-run like us, and they won the 2026 CA District San Diego Event.
2023–2026
Past sponsors
Thank you to the sponsors who got us here. Their support ran through the 2025–26 season; it isn't funding this one.
Lead sponsor · 2023–2026
Qualcomm
Past lead sponsor · 2023–2026
Qualcomm's support of FIRST programs is the reason rookie teams like ours can think about competing at all. They sponsored us three years in a row, and that sponsorship covered our main robot parts and registration costs.
Foundational support · 2023–2026
Gene Haas Foundation
Past sponsor · 2023–2026
The Gene Haas Foundation's investment in STEM education powered our manufacturing tooling and parts budget, and let us prototype boldly without fear of breaking something we couldn't replace.
Websites for local businesses
Run a local business? We'll build your website.
We build new websites and update existing ones for local businesses. Instead of a fee, we ask you to donate any amount you think is reasonable to our team. It goes toward our robot and our season.
Your words, word for word
We carry your existing copy over exactly as you wrote it. Anything new we add is yours to approve or cut.
Set up for search engines and AI
Clear page titles and descriptions, image descriptions, and structured data that spell out who you are, what you offer, and how to reach you: the details search engines and AI assistants read.
Yours to keep
You own the site and its files. No subscription, nothing locked to us, and you decide what goes live.
How it works
- Tell us about your business. What you do, and what your site needs.
- We build a prototype. A working version you can click through.
- You tell us what to change. We make the changes and check back in.
- You decide what goes live. It's your site, on your schedule.
Every project is a small business for us to run: a business plan, a pitch, a budget, and a real client counting on us.
Become a sponsor
