We are Clockwork, a FIRST Robotics team, and BSA Venturing Crew 1701, based in Orange, CA, dedicated to educating and inspiring high school students in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). The importance of our team is ever growing; there is a dramatic need for engineers to lead California, the country, and the world into new technologies and innovations.

FIRST Robotics Competition is an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals and young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way. It begins in January with six intense weeks of designing, building, and testing our "Champion" robot. By sponsoring a FIRST team, companies play a large role in increasing the number of students pursuing engineering or technology by exposing them to the excitement of their real world applications, and gain local and national exposure while giving back to the community.

A small group of students and professional engineers started the Clockwork Oranges in 2011 and have tried to grow as a student run club. We are looking for local sponsors to help with supplies such as fasteners, tools, motors, gears, pneumatic parts, aluminum, and machine parts. We must also pay for the transportation of the team and our robot to the competitions as well as other supplies that help us to be our best.

We are hoping that local businesses recognize the value of inspiring young people to pursue STEAM careers, and will contribute what they can to this community project. We aspire to be the City of Orange Robotics Team! Any contributions of money, materials or services will be greatly appreciated and assist the team in reaching its goal. Thank you for your time and consideration.
