Our Partners
Aluminium on the bench, code on the field, a team in the arena. Our partners are why Portugal has a FIRST® Tech Challenge team at all.
Why Back Thunderstrike
We are FTC Team 33535 — Portugal's first-ever FIRST® Tech Challenge team. In our first season we won the Helmond Qualifier, reached the Benelux Championship finals, took three design awards, and competed at the European Premier event in Eindhoven.
Then we built the thing Portugal was missing: we organised and hosted the country's first FTC event. Sponsorship covers materials, tooling, travel, and the outreach that puts robots in front of Portuguese students — and it puts your brand on the robot, in the pit, and on every stream we're part of.
What Your Support Reaches
Where It Goes
Aluminium, polycarbonate, motors, bearings, print filament, spare electronics. Competition registration and the travel to get eleven people and a robot to the Netherlands. The tooling that turns a CAD file into a part that fits.
Both machines above are Fortunate Son — the first build on the left, and the version that finished the season on the right. That gap is one year of parts, prints and rebuilds, and it is exactly what sponsorship pays for.
We keep a costed bill of materials for every subsystem and an engineering portfolio that documents every revision. Ask for either and you'll get them.
What Partners Get
In-kind counts too — machining, filament, electronics, or a mentor's afternoon. Tell us what you build and we'll find the fit.
