Baxter International is a founding sponsor of FIRST and has been a wonderful partner in our efforts to expand FRC in Arkansas. In addition to the generous funding of Team 16 that has allowed them to mentor rookies all over the state, they have provided funding to Arkansas FIRST that has been distributed to every team in Arkansas. So all 17 Arkansas FRC teams this season have received funding from Baxter.

We are attracting plenty of attention in Arkansas after many years of trying. The Bomb Squad World Champion win in conjunction with the addition of the rookies and establishment of an official event seems to have culminted in critical mass. Even if certain Arkansas companies are not initially onboard, there are many forward-thinking Arkansas corporations that are receptive and becoming involved in the program.

Thanks for your interest, Graham.
