But is worthwhile to pursue. True, the engineer can't make the decision to fund the team. But the engineer has contacts inside the company, and can find out who you should be talking to and what forms need to be submitted. If the engineer is committed to the team, he or she can explain the benefits of sponsorship to management, and may be willing to spearhead the whole process. We got a $6000 sponsorship that way.
Another path to pursue is contacting your state FIRST organization/partner. They may have contacts to suggest to your team.
