Layer One Robotics
Sponsorship Prospectus
Help us make the League possible.
Layer One Robotics is a table-top competitive robotics league where makers, companies, and students design, fabricate, and drive their own robots — competing in a new sport each season. We are community-run, and we accept sponsors who help us run events and make the League possible. Here's how you can be part of it.
- Micro-scale robots
- 3D-printed parts
- Community-run events
Reasons to sponsor
Reach hands-on builders
Put your brand in front of the makers, companies, and students who are competing — and the community we've built around them.
- 20+ active competing robotics teams
- 100+ active Discord members
- Mailing list
We always have a live audience
We run competitions at maker faires and robotics events that already draw a crowd — and your logo is on the field, the banners, and the livestream in front of all of them.
- Hosted at events like OC Maker Faire — 2–3k attendees
- Your brand in front of the crowd all day
Your products, to the right audience
Offer your products as awards or prizes, or put them in front of competitors on the product showcase table at our events.
Direct community impact
Our events are community-run. Sponsors are the reason a competition happens at all — and everyone there knows it.
