Re: Suggestions for a team trailer?

Not to derail the thread, but do you have potential sponsors in the area that are not able/cannot give a cash donation? Believe me, it seems unlikely but after some time being content with loading our gear into random trucks and borrowing trailers from parents/sponsors, we were ready to purchase our own trailer.

And then we were able to find a new sponsor that could not commit hard cash but were more than happy to provide a trailer. We were after this sponsor for a couple of years, and once they learned that we were in the market for a trailer, they saw a niche that they could fill and they stepped up BIG time.

Here is the imgur link of the trailer. The weird dots and white marks are stars, galaxies, and other space oddities - this company went all out on our design! That is one of our department leads shaking the hand of the president of said company.

It seems highly unlikely to most teams, but there are many potential sponsors that are in this type of situation. For one reason or another, cash sponsorships are not available, but they are able to help in this manner. Believe me, the company was more happy to help us this time than we were to receive it (and we are still hard over heels with our new hardware!). He even made certain to upgrade to aluminum wheels (in his words: "because they are sweet") and threw 4 cases of pop (soda or coke to you heathens) so that we can stay awake during our long build sessions.

Cast a wide net - you never know!
