Re: Team Sponsorships
One other suggestion that I don't believe has been mentioned is to try to set up some sort of demo at whatever businesses are around you-- for my team, after we've made "first contact"-- that is, met in person at an event, emailed back and forth, or talked over the phone, we always try to set up some sort of in-person demo or presentation on our team and the benefits of FIRST robotics. I can't remember the last time we managed to meet a sponsor in person that we didn't end up with some sort of sponsorship.
If you can get the kids on your team in front of some executives/managers/whatever-the-business-has, it becomes a lot more interesting to them and therefore increases your chances of getting something.
