Major event sponsors also seem to usually see the value of FIRST involvement; I frequently see fellow googlers at FTC and FRC events as mentors and volunteers, and my manager has been very supportive. I've heard similar things of many other such companies; I wonder if sponsors of Indiana state championship or the regionals in the past few years would feel similarly. Rolls Royce is the only one I can find with a cursory search, but I'm guessing a bit more of a deep dive, or contacting Indiana FIRST would yield more.

I forgot about rolls royce. I'll check that out.

I know most if not all the key employees at Andymark... I've always been under the impression they mostly do mechanical stuff (all their electrical seems to be mostly rebadged/retweaked/resold). That said, I'd love to work there (they're a cool bunch of people, and about 50% of why I'd like to stay Indiana) or at a place like cross the road electronics.
