Exposure opportunities
- Television/Press - In the 2008/9 season Breakfast Regional Round Up covered a story of the robotics programme. A feature story for Sunshine Breakfast show has been filmed with the Free Range team and Massey University's team. We have been interviewed live on TV ONE, and also been on Shine TV twice. See Free Range Robotics in the News. We are currently negotiating more TV coverage regarding our second year Champion status.
- Profile and promotional distribution at events, crowd sizes range from 200 to 1,000 plus.
- Promotional events.
- Corporate / Sponsors functions.
- National competition series, these events are run at Universities and Schools around NZ.
This will give the team a competitive edge and allow them to professionally represent the Sponsor in all situations.

- Use of the Robot at promotional events etc (wherever possible, by arrangement).

- Promotional material will be distributed to media regarding the team and Sponsor.
Premium or Individual Sponsorship
We are seeking:

- Or sponsorship for a team member: Drivers, Strategy Coach, Programmer, Alliance Scouts, Pit Crew, Team Captain.. (each team member would need $2500 to get them to the World Championships)
- Or sponsorship contribution of $500 towards a students total costs.

We are looking as a Team to recover only the costs of the competition season and to return as much value as possible to the Sponsor
Our philosophy as a Team is that the investment required is negotiable in order to maximise the opportunity for both parties.
We are a Vex Robotics team of homeschoolers from around Auckland, New Zealand. Our team name is Free Range Robotics. We are a group of twenty homeschooled students who are enthusiastic about the fields of science, engineering and robotics. We believe that in working as a team we can achieve great results.

We are a group of homeschooled students in Auckland, New Zealand, who are enthusiastic about the fields of science, engineering and robotics. We believe that in working as a team we can achieve great results.
We have been competing in the VEX Robotics Competition since it first came to New Zealand in 2008. Each year we have qualified and been fortunate enough to travel to America to compete in the World Championships. In our first year, we were the World Programming Skills Champions, and then the following year we were World Tournament Champions. Back over here, we have been National Tournament Champions four times, National Design Award Champions twice, and we have also been National Excellence Award winners, the greatest award presented at a competition.
We work as a team to develop multiple robots and we believe this is the key to success.
