Oi, I'm dumb. Gratz to me for not clicking the link before posting. The team's sponsor is listed on the side, but the team isn't. Odd. Raytheon was the team's sponsor in '93, of course the facility is now L3.

They have the wrong team listed on FIRSTwiki. No offense to the esteemed members of 811, but Greenville brought home the win in 1993.
(If anyone wants, I can go pose for a picture with the 1993 Championship Robot, Banner, and Trophy. They are in our workshop.)

Parker,
Close but no cigar.

148's sponsor has been the same throughout our run, since 1992. However, this facility has changed hands several times. It was originally part of E-Systems, then it was owned by Raytheon, now it is part of L-3 Communications.

It is awesome that this team has received continued support from them for so many years even throughout such (major) change.

-John
