Sponsors

RAVEN Robotics's generous sponsors enable our team to function. Without them we wouldn't be able to participate in FIRST Robotics. RAVEN Robotics thanks everything our sponsors do to support us.

RAVEN Robotics is the FIRST team for the Francis Howell School District's three high schools: Francis Howell High School, Francis Howell Central, and Francis Howell North. In addition they supply us with a generous amount of money, two teachers to sponsor us, Mr. Krueger and Mr. Stemmermann, as well as four rooms to work in during the build season at Francis Howell Central High School.

Francis Howell School Districts mission is to be a great learning community where children have the opportunity to reach their full potential. The district envisions excellence through collaborative cultures valuing students, teachers, parents, employees and the community as partners in learning. The district is dedicated to developing character, leadership and involvement.

Boeing not only has granted us with financial support each year, but also many of its employees volunteer their time and energy as mentors. RAVEN Robotics Team 1288 would like to give thanks to Dave Fischer, Tom Brandt, Tom Mantia, Lou Pape and Dave Harmon for volunteering their time not only as mentors, but fellow participants in pursuing the FIRST goals.

SAIC recently started sponsoring RAVEN Robotics with both financial support and a mentor, Mr. Mulholland. SAIC is committed to integrity, the best quality of service, to the community and all the while maintains high ethical values. SAIC displays many FIRST values such as technical and professional excellence, ethics and integrity.

Tri-Sun Tools Co.

Each Year since 2007 Tri-Sun Tools Co. has supplied us with free welding of our aluminum chassis for our robot.

In 2010 and 2011 Stone's Signs, St. Charles County's best sign company, has been printing any text and decorations our robots need on them. They always do a great job and make our sponsor's names pop out on our robot. We supply them with plexi-glass and they print our name, RAVEN Robotics, as well as each of our sponsor's names as well.

Stone's Signs is located in St. Charles, MO at 1380 Pitman Hill Road, St. Charles 63304.
