Our sponsors are absolutely crucial to the success of our team. Each company we partner with provides us with tremendous support in the form of donations or parts. Many of our team mentors are from these companies. Also, our sponsors often provide us with unique opportunities to learn how our skills from robotics can be applied in the real world. In the past, we have attended the Intuitive Surgical Open House and directed the surgical robots, and have also attended the Abbott Tech Expo where we received a tour of the stent labs. Some of our members have also gone to Berger Manufacturing to see how our sheet metal parts are laser-cut. We are extremely appreciative of our sponsors, and do our best to promote their companies in return on our robots and team apparel.
The Abbot Fund is one of our gracious monetary sponsors. They have provided us with grants for years in a show of continuing support of our team.
Berger Manufacturing provides us with all of our sheet metal parts, which make up most of our robot. They also consult with us on design reviews and help us work through any design issues which may occur.
Google is one of our monetary sponsors who has provided us with grants over the years which help us maintain our team.
PPT provides us with invaluable machining services. Their machine shop does much of the milling and other machining tasks needed for our robot.
St. Jude is another of our monetary sponsors with a continuing partnership with our team.
BAE is a major sponsor for our team in their first year of partnership with us.
Intuitive is one of our continuing sponsors, providing us with monetary support as well as mentors and opportunities to interact with their robotics programs.
