MRT 3216 is one of just two FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams in Montana. Competing at the highest level across vast distances requires significant resources. Your support is crucial.
Financial Support > To pay for registration fees, robot parts, and travel to two regional competitions and worlds, MRT aims to raise more than $70,000 for the 2023-24 season. We raised $52,000 in 2022-23. (See our current sponsor list here.)
In-kind Donations > MRT also needs donations of equipment, materials and labor, tools, food, and gift cards, which are recognized according to the cash value.
