Valtrek Automation Solutions has been a crucial sponsor since the 2023-2024 season. Not only do they provide financial and material donations to the team, but we also present regular "design reviews" to their top engineers. During these reviews, we discuss each mechanism in relation to our game strategy, and they critique and question our designs. This process pushes us to "know every millimeter of our bot" and often encourages us to think outside the box while striving for improvement.

Early in the 2024-2025 season, we were fortunate to connect with Raise 3D. We toured their Houston facility and demonstrated our "Into the Deep" bot. After the presentation, we collaborated with their engineering and technical team, brainstorming several ideas to enhance our bot's robustness and lifting capacity. Raise 3D also generously donated 3 kg of ESD-mitigating filament and offered to collaborate with us on future 3D printing projects.
