A competition of Sponsors or High Schools?

[meaubry]

Gadget,
Yes - Engineers do turn wrenches - but that and your comments are "off topic" - the topic of this thread is about "whom gets top billing (name is listed first)", so before this thread turns into the annual debate about which way is better or "who builds the robot"?
I suggest not going there, because that debate is circular and unending - I've seen it, read it, and participated in it for 7 years now.
We are all 1 week away from one of the most exciting and invigorating 6 week time periods, that most people involved will have an opportunity to participate in. This upcoming 6 weeks of work, sweat, thinking, designing, building, talking, discussing, turning wrenches, wiring, programming, drawing on chalk boards, eating pizza, drinking mountain dew, with the students - is what the FIRST experience is really about. Some teams are more fortunate than others (and that depends on how you look at it I suppose) in that the experience, is shared with Educators, Engineers, Parents, Mentors, Friends, and other Students. Some teams are not, but that doesn't mean that the experience isn't a valuable and important one to them.
Frankly. I really don't care who gets listed first or last. That, in my humble opinion, is as trivial as who builds the robot -- I hope everyone gets to experience something very very special this season.
Good Luck to all, enjoy the ride!
