Also, it's not like the sponsors are giving you like $20 and saying, here go make something and put my name on it. In many cases they are giving $1,000+ or even $10,000+. Plus if your little advertisements on your shirts, robot, websites, or anything help them make money and they know it's from you, they would be more willing to help sponsor you with even more money so you could do more. This is just as it would be in the real world. If a product is made the company has there name on it, not the inventor usually. Meanwhile, both get the credit.
