And the contributions to our society and the future of humanity are going to come from people with the best education and the best motivation.
Which sponsor has worked toward the goals of FIRST with the most success?
Beats me!

Ken, that's a different question entirely though. I didn't ask
which sponsor was the most successful, I asked which sponsor has the
most successful teams. Certainly graduating students, spreading science and engineering, etc can be criteria in that (each person has their own definition of success in FIRST), and you can pose which sponsor has had teams you felt accomplished those goals the best. Especially considering all four of the sponsors I have mentioned, as well as Motorola (which Al has mentioned in this thread) have teams that have won the Chairman's Award.
