Who are we?

Team 145 is one of several teams in the world that compete on different levels to build a robot to complete a task. In a typical FIRST season, teams go through several processes using skills from mathematics, sciences, and technology to build and operate their robot. Competition usually requires a team to travel distances, where they will meet up with hundreds of other teams and team members to compete in an event.

In all this, the team needs parts, woods, metals, and resources to build the robot. Not to mention costs for traveling and shipping the robot. This requires several thousand dollars, dependent on the teams’ progress through competition. Due to the limited budget of the schools, and the team's members, some of this money needs to come from a third party. This is where sponsors donate a said amount. Sponsors can donate money, or parts and resources for the robot.
