Hi, how/what is the process in which you applied? We were sponsored because the director of our local BAE office heard about FIRST and wanted to sponsor us. He even remarked how easy it was to get the approval last year. This year, it is a completely different story and he has pretty much been told to forget about it.
Maybe different locations of BAE have different procedures in picking the teams they work with?
We are the ONLY team in Brevard County, FL that does not have a corporate sponsor. This is not due to a lazy effort, but mostly because every high school in the county has a team - thus there aren't many companies left to reach out to. We aren't giving up - just trying to get our bearings.
Thanks!
