Re: asking for tool donations
For a large chain store, the letter is probably best, though hand delivery may help grease the skids. With a local business or franchise (e.g. hardware store), I would recommend more of a personal presentation. A student team member or two should be the spokesperson, but having a mentor along as backup is a good idea. Talk (briefly) about the mission of FIRST (inspiration, recognition, GP, culture change), the competition (latest game, how big is a robot), your team (history, size), and finally how they can help.
Don't forget to ask if anyone is willing to mentor!
