Robotics Team Sponsorship
The Maryland Robotics Center sponsors student teams that enter robotics competitions. MRC funding may be used for travel, materials, and other costs associated with participation in the competition. Best consideration is given to UMD student teams, although local K-12 robotics clubs are eligible to apply for funding.
How to Apply: Send a request to robotics@umd.edu with a statement describing the team, the robotics competition, and how MRC funds would be used.
Acknowledgement of MRC Sponsorship
Recipients of MRC Conference Travel Awards and Robotics Team Sponsorships should acknowledge the Maryland Robotics Center where applicable in their presentation and/or competition materials. Recipients are also invited to give a presentation about their paper or competition as part of the MRC Student Seminar Series.
