Fun Wild Idea: Corporate Sponsors Build & Compete!
We were throwing around an idea about how to companies might get more engaged in FRC. We thought that FIRST could invite a half dozen sponsoring companies such as Boeing, Lockheed, Northrup, GM, Ford and Chrysler to each meet the game challenge, build a robot in 6 weeks and then compete in a special match on Einstein. It might generate a buzz about the competition and more actively engage the companies in FIRST.

We didn't get into the specifics of logistics etc other than there should be a budget limit, e.g., $10k each. We're more interested in first impressions about the idea before going off into the particulars about how it would work.
