Mission aim
Get the team officially airborne.
For people new to FRC: registration is the point where ReBourne becomes an official competing team, receives its team access, and can begin the season with the official resources needed to build a competition robot.
What this mission achieves
Project Launch funds the official start of ReBourne Robotics. It gives our students a real engineering competition framework: team registration, technical resources, season access, starter robot materials and the first step towards competing internationally.
Makes ReBourne Robotics #11717 an official FRC team for the season.
Provides access to the Kit of Parts, including the physical Kickoff Kit, Virtual Kit and FIRST Choice credits.
Gives students a KitBot starting platform, supported by build instructions, CAD and programming guidance.
Creates the foundation for the remaining launch missions: pit, tools, batteries, drivetrain, vision, safety and travel.

Plain English explanation
Kit of Parts. Kickoff Kit. KitBot.
These three phrases sound similar. They mean different things. Project Launch helps ReBourne access all three as part of the official FRC season.
Kickoff Kit
The physical box of parts delivered or collected at the start of the FRC season. It is the practical starting point after the new game is revealed.
Physical kitJanuary start
KitBot
A beginner-friendly robot design that teams can build using the Kickoff Kit, with official instructions, CAD, programming guides and improvement ideas.
Starter robotRookie route
The sponsor translation
Registration gives the team the official FRC starting package. The Kickoff Kit is the physical box that arrives at the start of the season. The KitBot is the guided starter robot students can build from that kit. Project Launch gets ReBourne onto that pathway.
What this funds
The official starting point.
This mission has a fixed financial core: official FRC registration. Sponsors can fund the full mission, co-sponsor the registration route, or support launch materials, print, photography, admin and communication in kind.
