A season of steel, travel and workshop time is paid for by the organizations below. We are grateful for all of it.

Our Sponsors & Grants

Levels of support

There is no minimum. Every level of support is useful; here is where the money and materials actually go.

Materials and machine time for the shop, including stock, tooling and outside machining we cannot do in-house.

Level 02 / 03

Travel Partner

Transportation and lodging for the full competition schedule across the district events and the SoCal Showdown.

Level 03 / 03

Program Partner

Mentor time, workshop access, software licences and tools that keep the team learning between meetings.

Materials and tools in the TiGears shop

In-kind donations

Not everything is a cheque.

Aluminum stock, spare electronics, CAD licences, shop access, a donated mill, a mentor's Saturday. If your organization has something the team can use and no obvious use for, we would like to hear about it.

We keep a running wish list of what the shop still needs, and we are happy to send photos of whatever we build out of your materials.

Sponsor the team

Reach the business and outreach subteam at vhsroboticsbusiness@gmail.com. Tell us what kind of support you have in mind and we will put together something that fits.

If your company matches employee gifts, or runs a volunteer day, or simply wants to visit the shop and see the robot, all three are genuinely useful to us.
