The mark
Five curves. One point.
The logo is the org chart. Each line is something the team does, and they only add up to a robot where they cross.

How we build
The same six steps, every season
The game changes every September. The loop doesn't.
- Read the gameScore every path to points before touching a part.
- Pick a strategyCommit to an archetype. Say what we're not doing.
- Prototype uglyCardboard and zip ties. Find the failure early.
- CAD and buildModel it, make it, write down why.
- Code and tuneAutonomous first. It's worth the most.
- Drive it to deathPractice until the controls stop needing thought.
How we run
We wrote a constitution, and we follow it
What sinks most teams isn't the robot. It's attendance and decisions nobody agreed to.

In design
Our first competition robot. Strategy locks the week after kickoff, drivetrain goes first, and this row gets a result next spring.
Support us
Back a rookie team while the founding spots are open
Every dollar goes on the robot or gets the team to a match — motors, servos, hardware, spares, tools, travel. No overhead. And because we're new, early sponsors aren't one logo in a crowd: you're the name on our first robot, our first events, and every match video we publish.
Founding sponsor spots open
What sponsors get
Seen all seasonYour logo rides on the robot at every league meet, in our engineering portfolio, and in every match video on our YouTube.

Restaurants
We’ll bring the robot in for a service and run it as entertainment — and if you want, drive curbside pickup with it. Both draw a crowd and both get filmed.
Food & drink brands
Your food is what the team eats at tournaments. We photograph it, credit you, and post it — a full day of visibility in front of other teams and families.
Engineering & tech firms
Donate materials, machining time, or an hour of mentoring a week and your logo gets stamped straight onto the robot’s frame. Scrap stock counts.
Pizza brands
At the Origin level we’ll work with a tournament organiser to put co-branded pizza in front of the FIRST LEGO League teams at a local event — subject to their approval.
Backing us also backs a team of first-generation students building their first competition robot from scratch.
