How robotics and academic teams raise money online
Robotics and academic teams raise money for parts, registration and travel with one page, a link for every member, and team merch with the logo shipped to supporters.
What the money usually pays for
- Competition registration fees
- Parts, kits and tools
- Travel to regionals and championships
- Team shirts for competition day
Picking a goal
A robotics team covering a season of parts and registration might set $5,000 to $15,000; a debate team covering tournament travel might set $3,000. Pick the number that covers the real cost, then add an end date so supporters know when it counts.
Merch that works
Tees for competition day; stickers for laptops and toolboxes. We print and ship it to each supporter, so there’s nothing to order or hand out.
When to start
Start at kickoff, when the season’s parts list is known.
Tips for your robotics team
- Show the robot (or the trophy case) on the page.
- Ask local engineers and alumni through LinkedIn as well as family.
- Post build updates so supporters see where the money goes.
