Maybe what is needed is a shift from sponsorship of individual teams to sponsorship of first. I think JosephM is right... as FIRST expands, the focus needs to shift from the corporations to the students. You can't get a 5 or 6-figure sponsorship for every high school in the country. It just won't happen. FIRST needs to work on getting more sponsors for regionals, and for the program as a whole, to reduce the cost of entry for teams. If Dean really wants to have a team in every high school in America, FIRST will need to take steps to make the program accessible to all, not just the long-time veterans with big budgets and secure sponsorships.
