Request Equipment

Every team deserves a shot at robotics.

We get donated equipment to under-resourced teams, no budget required.

Founding Cohort

We're launching in the Bay Area and recruiting our first 5 founding recipient teams. Early partners help shape how the Exchange works.

Who Qualifies

→ Title I and low-income public schools
→ New or under-resourced robotics teams
→ After-school STEM programs and clubs
→ Community groups serving under-resourced youth

Don't see your exact situation here? If your team needs equipment and can't afford it, reach out anyway. We would rather hear from you than have you assume you don't qualify. You will just need a named coach or mentor to receive equipment.

What You Can Receive

→ Robotics kits and parts for VEX IQ, VEX V5, FTC, and FRC programs
→ Motors, controllers, sensors, structural components, programming tools
→ Condition clearly labeled on every listing: Working, Functional, or Parts Only
