Team 10292 now has nine students, and we're planning the preseason program that will prepare them for our first build season together. Fundraising and sponsor outreach are underway, we're continuing to recruit technical mentors, and we're still working on workspace and fabrication access.
FIRST reclassified Gold Rush as a New Veteran team and renumbered us from Team 11976 to Team 10292. The team itself is still brand new, with no inherited competition history — just a new official number going into the 2027 season.
The foundation is in place and now we're building everything around the team — sponsors, mentors, workspace, tools, materials, and connections. We don't need to have the whole season funded before we can start. Every useful resource gives us something we can do next.
Colma Robotics Foundation is a 501(c)(3). FIRST assigned us Team 11976. Both sites, Crowded, and Givebutter are live, and grant applications are already in.

Share the lead with us first. Warm introductions are especially helpful, and coordinating outreach helps us avoid contacting the same company twice.
Yes. Use the Sponsor sheet for businesses interested in financially supporting the team, and the Partner sheet for organizations that may be able to help with workspace, tools, materials, expertise, or other resources.
Yes — please check with us first. We want to make sure donated equipment and materials are something the team can use and that we don't already have another source lined up.
Absolutely. Experience with mechanical design, CAD, electrical, programming, controls, fabrication, or machining can all be helpful — even if they can only volunteer occasionally.
We're actively looking for workspace and exploring several possibilities, but we don't have a permanent shop confirmed yet.
Plenty of ways: fundraising, company introductions, food, transportation, logistics, photography, community outreach, workspace leads, or just helping wherever it's needed.
