Newport Robotics Group (NRG) has always been low on two things for FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC): money, and community outreach. Every year for the past 6 years, we have found ourselves underfunded at the end of the season with $200 left over at best, and $2000 under at worst. Sometimes this would affect our performance for the next year, but most of the time, our team was able to come together and raise enough funds to make it through the next year and we usually did quite well. This year though, we were more proactive. Before the season had even started, in fact, even before the summer had started, we had enough money to register for 2 FRC regionals, $10,000. This was amazing, our team had never had so much money, and especially not before school commenced. This incredible feat was accomplished with the donations of one very unique company, and an even more unique partnership. The relationship between NRG and Valve Software was a win-win situation for both of us.
