Managing a team is hard.
The paperwork makes it worse.

FIRST teams run on passion — but they're buried in spreadsheets, email chains, and informal money transfers.

📋

Reimbursements are a mess

Receipts get lost. Students pay out of pocket and wait weeks. Mentors chase down approvals over text.

📊

Budgets live in spreadsheets

Six different Google Sheets, none of them current. No one knows how much is left until the season is over.

📅

Outreach is untracked

Events get scheduled in group chats. Hours are not logged. Grant reporting season turns into a fire drill.

🏫

Admins are out of the loop

School administrators and boosters have no visibility into where team money is going or how it is approved.

Everything your team needs,
in one place.

Start with reimbursements today. As mintbotics grows, your team's entire operation comes together.

Common questions.

mintbotics is an independent tool built by people in the FIRST community. It is not an official FIRST product, but it's designed specifically for FIRST teams across all programs.

Yes, completely free. There are no paid tiers, no premium features, and no plans to charge teams. We accept optional donations to keep the platform running, but access is never gated.

Yes. We take privacy seriously, especially for minors. Student data is never sold or shared with third parties. We follow COPPA guidelines for platforms used by students.

All of them — FRC, FTC, FLL Challenge, FLL Explore, and FLL Discover. Whether you're a high school team or a youth LEGO League team, mintbotics works the same way.

We're actively building these out. Sign up now and you'll automatically get access to each module as it launches — no action needed on your part.

Yes — that's by design. Admins can be added to the team with a read-only view of all financial activity, giving them the oversight they need without slowing down the team.
