Does anybody know the percentage of rookie FRC teams from 2010 that returned in 2011. I am curious because I am a mentor of a rookie team that was sponsored by JC Penney. It is my understanding that they will be looking for new group of rookies to sponsor for FRC 2012. If many of the teams do not return for year #2, I question the value of providing rookie year only sponsorships--are we really growing FIRST if teams do not return. I would like to know last years return number so that we can compare them to next year's return numbers--this will allow us to know the real impact of the rookie grants. Also, please share your thoughts about rookie grants. We are EXTREMLY GRATEFUL for JC Penney's role it helping us get started. However, we are really struggling to find permanent sponsors.
