Power Northern Michigan Competitive Robotics

Help Bellaire Robotics bring high‑quality, low‑cost competitions to students across Northern Michigan. We supply fields, scoring systems, livestreams, and a trained volunteer crew – almost all of it at no cost to the host organizations. Your sponsorship keeps that possible and levels up the experience for students all over Northern Michigan.
