Formula Pi Sponsorship

The first two seasons of Formula Pi have proven to be very popular with thousands of people having viewed the grand final footage of both the summer and winter series.

To keep the cost for competitors to a minimum amount, we rely on sponsorship from external companies.
In return we give a few shout outs in the video stream, logos and so on around the track.

This season we already have 30 competitors registered for the MonsterBorg series. There will also be a new series introduced with faster robots, with localised GPS and IMU sensors and a wide angled view. Positional data will be available for live tracking of these robots, and should make the ordering more obvious especially during a race with lots of action!

The races will have their usual fantastic commentary by Claire Pollard and the events will be more challenging than ever with new races awarding points for collision avoidance. It is set to be a great season.

So who can sponsor?

Examples are companies making robotics, code clubs, autonomous vehicle manufacturers and Raspberry Pi related resellers.
But anyone can help us out! As long as your company or message isn't controversial, rude or adult themed.

We have some great new sponsors for this season including Pimoroni, Self Driving Track Days and Pozyx, and quite a few sponsors you will probably know from last season.
