Las Vegas!!!
No seriously, it seems to me that your team may be missing out on a unique opportunity. Engineering help should be easy to find – we love it! On the other hand, finding the kind of financial help a team needs is not easy. And, finding engineers with enough influence to get their companies involved is hardest of all, especially in places like Vegas where industry and manufacturing are not a large part of the local economy.
In the Detroit area we have the auto industry, but Vegas has casinos. Do you realize that the casinos have large staffs dedicated to public relations and promotions? They wouldn’t blink an eye at the kind of money we’re talking. What they care about is name recognition – setting them apart from the rest of the strip.
I’d lay odds

that that one of them would be more that willing to put their name on the sides of your robot. Technology smeck-nology! Go where the money is!!
