How you’re helping the team
Building our Robot
The robots we build cost thousands, possibly even going above $10,000. From expensive motors to elevators to all the computers and machines we need, it quickly adds up. Supporters of Topperbots have the possibility of getting their logo or name on both the robot and our transport van.
Going to Competitions
Just going to the first competition cost over $6,000, and $3,000 for each competition after that. Each of our team members spend hundreds of hours dedicated to making our robot the best it can be, so competing and winning is something we want to do the most we can. This year, we would love to do two separate competitions – any donations would help us greatly towards that goal.
