Don't confine yourself to engineers or even a particular kind of engineer. A civil/structural firm might love to get their teeth into a different sort of challenge. One where they won't get sued if they make a mistake.

One of our most faithful sponsors is a machine shop. Team 60 from Kingman also recieves heavy duty help from a machine shop. Also check out dealers or distributors for gears and other machine building equipment. One team in LA got the list of companies that were supplying parts for the kits and hit up every one in the LA area. They also hit the local distributors. Eventually they got a sponsor.

For technical help don't overlook people in the community. While I'm a mechanical engineer for the team, what I do also depends on the wiring done by students under direction of a couple of electricians. Since the electricians came on board we haven't had a failure in competition due to loose wires. Proplerly crimping wires is an art.

The important thing is to find people who do things to help you. The local model airplane club might be a good bet too.
