    We create a free online store for your team with no upfront costs or minimum orders, making fundraising easy and risk-free.

No Upfront Costs, Flexible Delivery

One of the biggest challenges for robotics teams is finding fundraising solutions that don’t require large upfront investments. With Robotics Team Outfitters, your team pays nothing to launch an online store — we handle the setup, design, and order management for you.

Local Delivery or Pickup

Bulk orders can be delivered directly to your team’s facility, or picked up at our St. Louis area location.

Individual orders can be shipped anywhere in the U.S., so friends, family, and sponsors can support your team no matter where they live.

This means you can fundraise confidently, knowing every dollar raised goes directly back to your team without the hassle of managing inventory or logistics.
