Outreach
Our goals as a FIRST robotics team are to spread STEM awareness to students, have fund-raising events that benefit our community, as well as partner with various companies.
Frisco Chamber of Commerce Speech
Last year, we were given the opportunity to meet with the Frisco Chamber of Commerce. Here, we presented our business proposal to 100 companies in hopes of gaining partnerships. This was a great chance for our team to gain exposure with business presentations and communicating with companies.
​
Fortunately, we secured a $500 sponsorship due to this speech!
Provided us with 9 kg of PLA filament in turn for advertisement of their company.
Teamed up with goBilda to create a virtual competition for the NTX region
Advertised SendCutSend on our social media in exchange for a discount on metal cutting services.
Code Ninjas Presentation
In the picture on the left, Abhiram is showing the students at Code Ninjas the robot from two years ago's competition. Code Ninjas is a center that teaches young kids the basics of coding through a game-based curriculum. The purpose of this presentation was to showcase the robot and promote involvement in robotics and stem-related clubs at a young age. The students were even allowed to drive the robot to see how it moves and works firsthand. They thoroughly enjoyed this presentation and we hope to host more showcases for our local community of young tech enthusiasts.
FTC Christmas Showdown Scrimmage
In the Christmas Showdown Scrimmage, we partnered with GoBilda, a major parts provider for FTC.
We hosted a virtual scrimmage for all Texas teams to participate where they can win prizes, such as gift vouchers and other GoBilda parts, based on their performance. This was a great opportunity for teams to gather data for scouting, prepare their autonomous and tele-op in a semi-professional setting, and most of all, have fun!
Here is a poster we designed and posted in the North Texas google group and discord.
Thank you to AOPS for helping fund our team during the 22-23 Season with a $300 sponsorship!
