Crowdfund UC Davis thanks all of the donors who gave to this important project in February. This campaign has closed, but we are grateful for your support!
Cyclone RoboSub was founded in 2023 with the mission of creating an encouraging environment for UC Davis students to explore robotics and hone their engineering skills in a hands-on setting. We are the only robotics-focused design team on campus, and we believe that every UC Davis student should get an opportunity to explore the field of robotics, an integral part of the engineering landscape.
Cyclone RoboSub aims to serve students of all experience levels. Since the team's launch five months ago, we are already supporting over 35 active members! Our subteams are busy at work designing and manufacturing the propulsion, navigation, and manipulation systems of our first competition robot. In time, we hope to deploy our vehicle in research settings to collect environmental data and support university research.
By supporting our project, you are making an investment in the engineers of tomorrow by providing them with the resources to go above and beyond classroom curriculum. Donations benefit our general support fund and will assist our current goals of purchasing components and materials for our 2024 competition vehicle. Items needed include cameras, processors, stock material, and underwater thrusters. Your support allows us to be ambitious with our designs, enabling us to be competitive and represent the UC Davis community as we compete against 40 other teams at the 2024 competition in Irvine, CA.
Your contribution helps us purchase 3D printer filament to make custom parts such as thruster shrouds!
Your contribution helps us secure components such as electric speed controllers and aluminum L brackets!
Your contribution will help us buy the aluminum plates, brackets, and waterproofing materials!
Your contribution will fund a Raspberry Pi, camera, or set of batteries!
Your contribution will help us purchase the 8 thrusters needed for our robot!
Your donation helps us pay our registration fees and buy the main waterproof chamber of our robot!
