I just want to start by clarifying my original statement which alot of you have misunderstood. I never said that sponsors are not important. I never said that the sponsors should not get any recognition either. I just feel since the students are the ones who have the most to do with building the robot(in a perfect world) that the HIGH SCOOL should come before the sponsors in every published and spoken arena.
When someone asks what team your from; how many of you say "Well we're from Sponsor X, Sponsor Y, Sponsor Z, and X School."? Not many I assume!
Usually when I am asked which team I am from I say the team's name, the school, where I am from, and then if someone asks, the sponsors. It's not that I don't believe the sponsors are important, it's just that in my mind I believe it is a higher priority to mention the school and team name and students who have worked hard to get to the events.
Again I am not saying that sponsors are not important, we even have a thank you list for our sponsors on the back of our shirts, but the students and adult mentors are the one's who are most responsible for your team being at the event and I think they should get the most recognition!!
ALL HAIL TO THE STUDENTS AND MENTORS!!
Thank you sponsors for helping us to get how far we've come !!
