Due to the high costs of running a FIRST® Robotics Team, funding for the Ovid-Elsie High School Robotics Team is heavily reliant on donations from Corporate Companies and Local Businesses. Sponsorship donations are used to cover registration fees, building materials, Team expenses and general operation of the Ovid-Elsie High School Robotics Team. Sponsrship donations have an immense impact on The Marauderbots’ Students, by providing financial backing to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences. By working hand-in-hand with companies to promote their business, Students also gain an appreciation for “real-world” business sense, as well as an introduction to the corporate business atmosphere.
All donations are fully tax-deductible, and all funds are handled directly through Ovid-Elsie Schools’ Administration Office. The following is an estimate and summary of the cost associated with operation of the Ovid-Elsie High School Robotics Team for the 2017-2018 Season. These numbers are an estimate only, and are subject to change.
