Re: Recruiting a Polytechnic
I'm not entirely certain that's a machine shop sponsor--that sounds like a university sponsor. Because of that, you need a different approach than you'd use for a machine shop.
For a machine shop, you'd go with the advertising and skill display line of persuasion; you'd also discuss possibly having students come in if they were interested in learning machining. Your best bet for a contact would be the shop owner.
For a college/university, even if you're only after shop access, you'd want to start with an introduction to what FIRST is trying to do, and then explain that you'd like to utilize their shop technology for making parts, and would be willing to supply labor. Your best bet for a contact would be instructors in the department that runs the shop you're interested in, as well as university officials.
