I would also liked to know how evolved they got with your team and how much you got them to help you. Did they give you funds? Or engineering help or workshops for to help your team develop?

Thanks very much
Hi and welcome!
I would also like to add that working with any sponsor, including corporate sponsors, is an opportunity to give back. It is a two way street. Our corporate sponsor is National Instruments. NI is very generous in helping our team with financial support as well as mentoring. As a way of giving back, 418 participates in many of NI's programs. One example is the Lego Mindstorms event.

Working with a corporate sponsor can provide a lot of wonderful opportunities for the teams to share and help develop terrific programs.
