Introducing YAGSL’s Official Merchandise – Because Nerdy is the New Cool
Hey Chief Delphi!
We, the Bronc Botz, started the Yet Another Gear Swerve Library (YAGSL) with one simple mission: help other FRC teams code a swerve drivetrain and get more robots moving in ways that would make even the most seasoned engineers proud. Fast forward to today, and we’ve reached over 200 teams in more than 10 countries. We’re thrilled to be part of so many teams’ journeys, but we’re not stopping there. We’ve got some exciting news:
YAGSL is officially launching our very own online shop!
Now, in addition to our killer code and swerve knowledge, you can snag some awesome, YAGSL-themed merchandise to rock at competitions, in the pits, or just in the comfort of your own home. Our goal with this new venture is to raise money to continue improving our tools, updating the YAGSL program, and supporting our team’s efforts to help the FRC community grow.
So, what can you expect in the shop?
Well, brace yourselves, because we’re nerding out with some truly unique product names and descriptions that are sure to make you smile. Here are just a few highlights:
Why Buy YAGSL Merch?
When you grab some of our one-of-a-kind gear, you’re not just supporting your own robot journey—you’re also helping the Bronc Botz continue to grow the YAGSL program. With each purchase, we can keep improving our resources, support even more teams, and give back to the FRC community that’s given us so much.
So, why not kick off the new season with a little YAGSL flair? Whether you’re sticking our decals on your robot, staying warm in your hoodie while you code, snuggling under a blanket between matches, optimizing your workspace with a new desk mat, or stepping into a pair of “Closed Toed Coverings,” these items are the perfect blend of function, fandom, and nerdy pride. We hope they make your FRC experience just a little bit more fun!
Check out the full collection at YAGSL Shop, and get ready to sport some of the coolest merch in FRC history.
1. “Adheasives” Stickers
These adhesive devices are perfect for literally anything—your toolbox, laptop, robot, cart, iPad, iPhone, books, that one desk that’s already drowning in WAYYY too many of these, and even your cat (though, fair warning, your cat will probably give you the look and think, “YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME, HUMAN.”)
Anywayyy, these stickers are the finishing touch you never knew you needed. Just one tiny request—please don’t try to use them as a band-aid. It’s not going to end well.

Plus, it’s the perfect size to hold your keyboard, mouse, and (of course) snacks for those late-night coding sessions.
