Thanks for yor help.

Team 30 speaking here:
We get about $10,000 from them to do all that basic registration stuff. (We go to 2 regionals). They've also supplied us with our team shirts and Fury bags. (Most teams give out pins. We give out cloth tote bags. Go figure.)
We're located (relatively) close to them geographically, so they do some machine work for us. Our team has a tech lab in the basement that consists of a bandsaw and a drill press. Not very extensive, so BMS helps us out. I know that this year we sent them the plans for our gearbox and they machined it for us. Other than that, I'm sure they've machined other things for us in the past but I can't give you specifics.
Hope the info helps. Good luck with the sponsor searching!
