Re: Should sponsors be held the same standards as teams?

Technically if you asked on the FIRST Q&A's about specific questions they would most likely say yes or no. The only thing is, that if FIRST decides to call you an idiot for asking the question, you may be an example in the future and you could be taking the reputation of your team down with you since you have to post as your "FRC0000" user name. Otherwise I would email them and get a direct response.

Also this brings up something else. If lets say if a rookie team with a NASA sponsorship found a wealthy sponsor like A-B, what would NASA's reaction to working with the "bad guy" [as FIRST makes them out to be], be and could that potentially jeopardizes the relationship between FIRST teams and NASA and/or any other type of federal or government funding??

I just don't see the government taking too well to working with the people who make booze...
