Great robots start with great community partners!

Behind every successful robotics team is a network of people and businesses who believe in what students can accomplish. We’re proud to recognize Genuine Machine Products for helping our FIRST Robotics Competition Team, Desert Storm, turn big ideas into real-world engineering experiences!

A special shout-out to Nate Ankrom and his team for investing in the next generation of problem-solvers, innovators, and makers. Your generosity helps our students gain practical skills and explore futures in engineering and machining. Thank you for being part of our journey!
