Sponsors
Digital Fusion is thankful for sponsorship and support. Since it is not connected and funded by a high school, the only way the team is able to afford to teach students to love math, science, and FIRST is through the many sources of support given by generous companies in the Central Ohio area.
Many of the sponsors have supported Digital Fusion since the beginning, providing tours of facilities and showing the use of robotics in the industrial world. Many of these tours provided inspiration for robot designs during the build season.
