Robotics teams sponsoring Robotics teams

[The_ShamWOW88]

I've seen newer teams with veteran team numbers as a "sponsor" before. I would assume it's to acknowledge any technical/mechanical help and support they received. More of a team-to-team mentor-ship than a true monetary sponsorship.

Team 469 listed Team 67 as a sponsor a while back (07-08?) for making 67 making a few parts for them. This is probably the most common form of team-to-team sponsorship.

On the other hand, Team 5188 had Team 1108 listed as a sponsor in 2014 after one of 1108's mentors gave a generous monetary donation to 5188 after the Crossroads regional. This is a very rare occurrence however.
