Our Sponsors
When running the competition and any public-facing parts of our organisation, it is important to bear in mind and give credit to the persons/organisations that support us; in other words putting their logo on things and thanking them where thanks are due, because their support is very important to the functioning of our organisation.
Sponsors for SourceBots
These sponsors support us in running the main competition and the Smallpeice Summer School.
University of Southampton
We are sponsored by the University of Southampton Electronics and Computer Science Department so that we can be a source of recruitment for potential STEM students, currently in their A-level/sixth-form years and looking at universities for Electronics, Computer Science, or Engineering courses.

Farnell supports us by providing components for the kits.
We write blog posts for their website for other societies or organisations trying to do similar things (i.e. running robotics competitions, building competition-running software, running a STEM outreach programme with volunteers).
