Sponsors & Suppliers
Partners
A technical audience that actively wants to know which brands made the parts — and a season of footage where the answer is visible.
Why This Works
Sponsorship That
Gets Looked At
Most sponsorship buys a logo somebody scrolls past. Combat robotics buys something considerably rarer: an audience of engineers, machinists, makers and students who pause the video to read what is on the part.
The Hardest Audience to Reach
Engineers, machinists, makers, robotics students and their families — the people who specify components, choose suppliers and influence technical purchasing, and who are famously immune to conventional advertising.
Content That Keeps Working
Every event produces a season of footage. Branding appears in fight replays, build diaries and highlight reels that keep circulating long after the cage is packed away — not only on the night.
Product Under Real Load
Tools, materials, actuators, fasteners and fabrication services get used, abused and publicly discussed by builders who care about the difference. Surviving an 80 kg humanoid exchange is a demonstration no advert can buy.
Multiplied Distribution
The event streams free on YouTube and Twitch, and every team streams its own corner to its own audience. Reach is the league's audience plus six to eight creator audiences, in parallel, on the same night.
STEM Credentials, Earned
This is engineering education wearing entertainment's clothes — published rulebooks, free reference CAD, mentored builders. It gives an outreach story something real to point at.
Reporting, Not Vibes
After every event you get a partner report: attendance, stream and social reach, footage delivered, activation photography and where your branding actually appeared. If it underperformed, you will hear it from us first.
Inventory
Who Owns
What Surface
Split at signing, in writing, before any team is formed — so nobody is ever negotiating over the same square inch of a machine two weeks before an event.
Because the league placement is mandated on every machine, a single league partner appears on all six to eight robots — in every fight, from every camera angle, in every replay — without negotiating with a single team.
In-Kind
Where Product Partners Fit
In-kind partnership is a genuine route in, not a consolation tier. For a technical supplier, parts credit often buys more visible integration than the equivalent cash would.
Fabrication
Laser, waterjet, folded plate and CNC services, used across every machine in the field.
PCB & Electronics
The Control Package fleet, plus every team's own boards and harnesses.
Additive Manufacturing
Cosmetic volume, jigs and fixtures, and iterated armour test coupons.
CAD, PLM & Simulation
The reference chassis is published from it, with attribution to the toolchain.
Actuators & Motion
Eleven powered joints per machine, run to failure and past it.
Materials & Fasteners
Aluminium, energy-absorbing foams and structural fixings, consumed continuously.
Packages
Ways to Partner
Four standard routes in. Every one is adjustable — tell us the objective and the budget and we will shape something around it rather than sending you a tier sheet.

Partner Enquiry
Let's Talk
Tell us roughly what you want out of it and we will come back with a specific proposal — what you get, where it appears, what it costs — rather than a generic deck.
Prefer to skip the form? Email contact@mekastrike.com or call [PHONE_NUMBER].
What Happens Next
1. A founder reads your enquiry and replies personally.
2. A short call to work out what a win actually looks like for you.
3. A written proposal with deliverables, placements and cost.
4. Activation, then a report on how it actually performed.
We are pre-launch and we say so. There is no audience figure to quote yet, and any league that quotes you one at this stage is making it up. What exists today is a designed machine, a published class specification, a rulebook in draft and a dated plan — and early partners get a materially better deal than the ones who arrive once it works.
