I think that the goal of FIRST is to inspire us, the students, about science and technology. Being able to work with mechnical and electrical engineers in this project together is an awesome experiance for any High School student. Instead of limiting how much help and support that big companies can give to FIRST teams, I think we need to get as many sponsors on board as we can. While the competition is the really cool part, it probably isn't fair at all - every team has different resources. The competition is just what we and the engineers/teachers/sponsors work on together. I think the goal of most teams should be to inspire the students, and not totally focused on just winning the competition. Winning is just the icing on the cake.
Well, that's my $0.02, hope that makes sense...
