Sponsorship

Back the students who build the robots. Sponsorship funds our national competition teams and puts your company in front of USF's most driven engineering talent.

Why sponsor

Your investment reaches students building real hardware

Recruiting access

Meet the engineering students who design, machine, and program competition robots before they graduate. Our members come out of project teams with hands-on experience in mechanical design, embedded systems, and controls that most undergraduates never touch.

Visibility at Automation Fest

Automation Fest brings more than 25 industry partners and USF research labs together for exhibits, live demos, and networking. Sponsors get their brand in front of that room, alongside the students and companies shaping the automation and robotics industry.

A logo on the rover

Platinum sponsors get their logo placed directly on our NASA Lunabotics rover, the chapter's flagship competition machine. It travels to the competition and into every photo and video we publish from it.
