Why Team 812

You are funding a student-run engineering program.

The Preuss School serves low-income students who will be first in their families to finish college. For many students, Team 812 is their first chance to use engineering tools and work with mentors.

Our robot code is public.

Sixteen seasons of robot code are public on GitHub, along with two tools we built ourselves. Engineers can inspect how we build and test.

We have been building in San Diego since 2001.

Team 812 is San Diego's first FRC team. We have competed in 51 events and made five trips to the World Championship. Your sponsorship helps keep that student-run program going.
