Bishop-Wisecarver® is excited to begin 2026 by celebrating the students who are bringing creativity, curiosity, and real engineering talent to the world of robotics. This year’s sponsorship group includes a mix of teams we are thrilled to support again, as well as several new teams joining us for the first time. This year marks a significant milestone as we expand our sponsorship to include out-of-state teams, selected in alignment with our established guidelines.
Our commitment to supporting young innovators spans nearly two decades. Bishop-Wisecarver has been a FIRST sponsor at both the national and regional levels since 2007, and over the years, we’ve become a trailblazer in student robotics sponsorship. Our long-term involvement, hands-on engagement, and consistent investment reflect a belief that mentorship and opportunity can spark a lifelong passion for engineering, manufacturing, and problem-solving. Supporting these programs isn’t an initiative… It’s a true part of our identity and core values.
