Engineers/Mentors and a New Regional
Rookie teams are always in need of good mentors. Find a way to incorporate people from your company into the mentoring of rookie teams and help them get their feet on the ground. Help them establish a robotics program that they will not lose interest in so that FIRST can maintain their membership. Offer them supplies and funds for their first years so that they can establish themselves, but at the same time so that they can begin to look for sponsorship elsewhere.
As FIRST grows, it becomes rather noticeable that there are not enough spots at many regionals. Perhaps expanding a regional in an overcrowded area or creating an all new regional would be an incredible helpful event.
