Through Parents! The best sponsors have been were parents work. My dads company started sponsoring our team in i think 2005 when my brother started... they are know our biggest sponsor, and donated our pits, Robot parts, vehichles for compeitions, gas money for competitions, and LOTS of money . try to find which parents are extremely deicated to helping out and see if their company will sponsor the team.

We are also trying to start another FRC team in Windsor, Onatrio so its not to far if u are in michigan. my team is from windsor and we are the only team for another two hours, besides crossing the border.

Good luck

Try and find some mentors from this list (http://www.michiganbusiness.us/index...ind=Pontiac)in addition to parents. I think if you establish your expectations up front with your mentors than you should be fine.

I highly recommend a structures and an electronics engineer as a minimum since they will be able to teach you the things you will need to do the work on your own.
