PARTNER WITH US

Empowering the next generation of engineers through combat robotics.

Our Mission

"Bad Conflict strives to promote STEM education and innovation by providing college and high school students with the tools necessary to start their combat robotics career."

Why Sponsor Bad Conflict?

We are a self-funded 501(c)(3) non-profit combat robotics team comprised of passionate STEM students and FIRST Robotics Competition Team 2451 PWNAGE alumni.

Our Commitment to Accessibility: We strongly believe that combat robotics should be an inclusive sport. To increase accessibility, our team recognizes the significant costs of building and maintaining competitive robots, and we proudly cover 100% of our members' robot expenses.

We achieve this goal through a combination of fundraising and valuable sponsorships. Sponsorships from companies like LiveRamp, SS&C, Abbvie, and Repeat Robotics play a vital role in our success. We typically seek sponsorships in the range of $500 to $2000, but we greatly appreciate any support you can offer. We also accept in-kind donations of usable parts (e.g. PCBs, motors, standard hardware).
