The Raiders would like to give some personal recognition to all of it's current sponsors for supporting the team throughout this season and the past, may it have been through financial support, donations of team resources, community support, or even those who found time in their own already hectic lives to become a team mentor. Without these generous contributions from all of our sponsors our students would never have had the opportunity to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition. In this section of the site you can find links, logos, and information on all of the current team sponsors that we have.

Team Sponsors

Team Raiders would like to cordially thank all of its generous team sponsors who have helped us meet our target goal of raising $6,000 for this year's team registration fee and robotics kit. Our team is always seeking out additional sponsors and supporters, as there will always be additional parts needed for the final construction of the team's robot. Our school gains over $15,000 worth in robotics hardware and software to keep for in classroom use for future students and robotics teams alike.

This year our team could really use the help from additional adult mentors to assist our students. Mr. Harry Ramos, Mr. Larry Bamford, and Mr. Mark Eder are serving as our team mentors once again this year, along with some helping hands from former team alumni Joe Killinger, Nick Ramos, and Shaun Bamford. I know that they would appreciate any additional help that they can get.

1. We need mentors with and/or without any technical expertise.

2. We need mentors who have a website design and/or 3D Studio Max background.

3. We need mentors and local businesses that can provide refreshments and/or food and snacks for late night team meetings and long weekend shifts.
