Decatur Robotics Team 4026 is a competitive team – not a club. We operate like a traditional sport and need help from all parents to make this year a successful one. Please let us know how you can help this school year. Attend a team meeting any Tuesday or Thursday after school for more information or reach out to us at admin@decaturrobotics.org.
We need mentors, funding, and general support. Please visit our Get Involved page for more information or ask one of the existing coaches or mentors.
We're also looking for help with funding. Robotics is an expensive sport. Does your company offer matching, sponsorships, or grants? Do you have connections to companies you think might be interested? We are a 501(c)(3) and donations are tax deductible.
