Support Momentum Robotics!

We are Momentum Robotics, a FIRST Robotics Competition community team founded in 2015. We operate out of Sato Academy of Math & Science, but welcome and have members from any local High School.  We design, build, test, and compete our 150lb robots against other teams around the world. Our team of roughly 30 members fosters a community of forward-thinking high achievers with great ambition supported by mentors from engineering industries to coordinate some of the most complex projects in high school academia.

When not building robots, we show off our robots and hands-on engineering demo boards at many outreach events. We visit school STEM nights at the elementary and middle levels, appear at day events hosted by our sponsors, and generally elevate interest in robotics in our local community.

We also do a lot more than just robotics. We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit through our parent organization, Shared Science, and a great deal of our time and manpower is devoted to running the team like a business. From budgeting to fundraising to outreach, we do it all!

In addition to dues, our team relies on donations and sponsorships from some of the biggest companies in the field. We are so fortunate to have grants from Boeing, Raytheon, the Gene Haas Foundation and the Port of Long Beach in the past. However, our robots (and the competitions we compete in) are expensive, and FRC teams need about $18,000 per season just for basics.

This is where you come in. With your donations, we will be able to compete in a second regional competition this year.  The competitions are amazing!  (and free and open to the public)  Each match pits 3 teams chosen at random against 3 other teams, so we are continuously meeting with other students to talk strategy based on the strengths of each team.  All of our donations go towards competitions and robot parts.

Thank you!
