Justin:
The sponsor has to be a "named sponsor" -- not to have the labor cost included as part of the $3500 -- now there are teams out there who has companies that are willing to sponsor the team by the virtual of allowing the team to either use the machinery or even by helping with machining. These are the small shops that do not have the financial resources to dole out BIG BUCKS! In the old days -- Barter was a way of life -- in a sense -- when companies are willing to lend a hand -- it is in the concept of bartering -- they don't have the $$ to give -- but yet want to help the team -- when they work with the students -- especially the aspiring engineers that most of you are -- you may gain some insight as to why engineers should design something that is "machinist friendly" -- in lot of ways -- it is a learning experience -- aside from the big kahuna teams -- most teams do a lot of the work on their own -- this is my observation from speaking to various teams at competitons.
