Sponsors

Caterpillar essentially founded our team in 2007 and has been a primary sponsor of our team since our inception. Simply put, our team would not exist without Caterpillar. The majority of our funding continues to come from Caterpillar. We are able to be a “no fees” team because of Caterpillar’s generous sponsorship.

In 2017, Make-It-Here stepped up and provided a home for our team when we lost our previous build space. Make-It-Here provides our team with access to their facilities equivalent to full membership for those on our team. The Make-It-Here founder and staff also mentors our team.

80/20 has sponsored the team starting in 2018 by providing us with a substantial educational discount on their products. 80/20 material has been used as our primary build material since then due to its flexibility and weight savings.

Starting in 2018, the Aurora Public Library has hosted outreach and recruiting events for our team. The team is looking forward to a partnership with the library to reach out to those in the Aurora community.
