FRC Rookie and 2nd Year Team Grant Opportunity

Learn more about the **NEW** "Toolkit Sustainability Grant" shared by the Robonauts Everybot!

----------------

The Robonauts Everybot have partnered with the Argosy Foundation to secure over $100,000 in funding towards the growth and sustainability of FIRST teams through the Toolkit Sustainability Grant.

The Everybot Initiative is about helping teams build a strong foundation for long-term success. A larger barrier to sustainability is the high cost of setting up a team’s competition pit. Toolboxes, hardware, storage solutions, and essential tools are critical for every team. But acquiring them quickly, while also covering registration fees and building a robot, can be overwhelming.

To help address this challenge, we will be awarding 36 grants of $2,800 each to eligible teams. We encourage you to share this opportunity with any local 1st- or 2nd-year teams in your area.

Each grant will include funding to support:

• Everybot Toolkit – covering the cost of essential tools needed to build and maintain a robot

• Everypit – supporting the purchase of a functional and reusable competition pit
