Help MCW's Robotics Team Grow

Help me give my students the tools they need to successfully compete in Robotics tournaments, such as a dewalt rivet tool, safety items, and items to organize both in the shop and in the pits at competition.

My Project

MCW's Robotics Team competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition, during which our students must design, build, and program a robot to play a game that changes each year.

We are entering our fourth season, and we are still building our program.

The team needs some basic safety items, as the space we are able to use at our school was not intended to be any type of shop. We are also requesting some tools to make the building process more efficient.

Finally, we are requesting some items to make the experience the team has at competitions smoother, such as portable flooring to define our pit space and make working on the floor more comfortable, and a technician's backpack and spare hand tools to make last minute repairs on the field easier.
