iSpace Competition 2009

Our first FTC competition last year in 2009. We placed 11th out of 24 teams! Pretty good for a rookie team!


Sponsorship Information

Our Robotics team, the Bedford Jr. HS Revolution Robotz, is a FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Tech Challenge team. We are a group of 10 students that attend Bedford Junior High School in Temperance, Michigan. The FIRST Tech Challenge is a robotics event that involves junior high and high school students working together to create a robot that can perform a specific task. As we learn what the competition is about and how demanding it is to build a robot, we realize that we cannot do this without your help. We are the second team in Bedford to compete in this division, and we will be competing against many high school students.

We are asking for your help through financial aid. Although we work hard to raise money, we have not raised enough to cover all expenses. Any donation would be appreciated. These donations will go towards competitions, robot parts, and other necessary items. Some of the costs incurred include the registration - $295, battery packs - $50 , Robotics Kit - $999, playing field - $200, misc. spare parts -$100, competition fees - $200 - $500, a programming kit - $150, spare parts- $100 and interlocking foam mats - $150. Additionally, we need to purchase spirit items for competitions. We need to raise a total of $2,500 to fully fund our team. We are looking for your support to help pay for some of our supplies and competition fees.

If you or your company are able to sponsor us $100 or more, we will proudly display a logo of your choice on our shirts at competition. All sponsors will be recognized in our press releases, no matter what the donation amount.

We are a 2nd year team this season and your help is vital to our success. If you would like to learn more about our program you can go to First and look for the F.I.R.S.T. Tech Challenge link.
