Our ca submission has been an excellent way to communicate from our pits too. I'm letting everyone know, our local Kinko's is very supportive of nonprofits. The 2x3 posters usually $149 ea were on sale for $89 each, but she gave it to me for $49, and those posters are our ca submission hanging in our pits. The posters are laminated, on core board, and Kinko's gave me stickers for the back of the boards allowing us to hang the boards in the pits with zip ties.



*puzzled* What's position feedback?

OOPS! (spelling error or just fat fingers)

Positive sponsor feedbacks-
The sponsors didn't know that the teams did so much.
They are also passing it along to other companies that may want to sponsor a high school team of future engineers.
They feel that their money was well spent.
They are encouraging more of the senior staff to visit the regional.
Talk to the students.
They are proud to be associated with a team.
Sponsor Bragging Rights!

Best of all: They took us out for DINNER!

I can imagine all that from our sponsors too. They want to keep sponsoring our team cuz they see our team helping to spread the program. It's helping other local big guns to realize they need to step up to the plate more, to see the possibilities, to put their heads up and consider funding for the local regional...

I think our heavy publicity helps them be informed, feel and do all of that except

*whine* Didn't take us out to dinner!

We are always into helping other teams any way we can. Last year we gave our winning submission on paper to the Chairman's Team of Team #847 PHRED. This year they won the Chairman's Award. Our Chairman's Award Submission should be on our site next week. It currently is on vacation when it comes back ill be sure to post it. We also have our winning submission from 2003 online at our website www.wahsrobotics.com so check that out if you want and ill be sure to update you on when this years is up.

Go ahead and post your 2003 app on this thread

cuz the thread was started in 2003, and it can remain a repository for people trying to find others' apps.

I would personally be honored if a team tried to emulate our submission on their team.

Sharing of CA submissions +++

Yeah, our team is turning our CA submission into a sponsor dealie too, hopefully to encourage current sponsors to keep sponsoring, and to invite new sponsors into the game. Wonderful experience.
