SPONSORSHIP
Building our robot alone requires a budget of at least $6,000, not including funding for our regional competitions and invitational scrimmages. The POBots are a 501(c)(3), and we get most of our funding through businesses in the greater Long Island area. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated! Email us at pobots353@gmail.com.
