logos&sponsors

[Stephen Kowski]

....put them in the team name so if/when they show up they hear their company get called out.....that is assuming you don't have a billion sponsors in that name *looks around for 343*

Definitely put it on your website. ask them if they have any handouts they want to give away at the competition (ex. Busch Gardens/Sea World gives us coupons from their theme parks to hand out at events, they are few, but they go fast.)

Have a team trailer or something? sticker it up *still looking around for 343*

i dunno.....i think that is all the tricks I have learned off of Metal-in-Motion....maybe more to come, but I'll have to think real hard.

[edit]at the end of the year get a trophy/plaque/framed letter signed by everyone/gift and give it to them thanking them make sure they know they were apreciated so they will come around again the following year.[/edit]

You could make different buttons with your team name and different sponsors on them, if you have tons of major sponsors. Like a different one for each sponsor. They'd probably like that.

We have the names of all our sponsors in on our shirts, our 'bot, and our pit area. For those of you at the Buckeye, we were the one's with the fancy lightningy background for our pit. (See attachment)

And, as a side note, thanks to AEP, OSU, and NASA-Glenn.

thanks...i think we'll make a flag..one side with team name&number,other side with sponsor logos

Team shirts, website, banner in your pit area. Another idea is to have a team letterhead and put sponsors logos on the bottom of it.

...or, if you're really dead-set on having their logos on the robot itself, make space!

Take a flat piece cardboard or aluminum or whatever else you can use and still make weight, and attach it to some side or part of the robot where it's out of the way (read: won't mess up your drivetrain or arms). Then sticker the night away.

I will add to this... you can make the "sponsor panel" easy to attach by simply velcro-ing it on to your robot. Make sure you laminate it or protect it in some other way so that the stickers dont get scratched off in the heat of battle.

One other idea... Make a pit board. my team makes a pit board where we list all of our sponsors so that people can read them as they walk by. It shouldn't be too hard to buy some foamboard or poster board, print out your sponsors' logos, glue them on, and hang up the board in your pit. You can use a portable easel to display the pit board if you want, or you can create your own method of hanging it.

Here is an example of some foam board, although I don't know about getting it in Isreal. If you can't get any in Isreal, I bet you could stop at a Staples or some other office supply store to get some once you arrive in Atlanta. Same thing goes for portable display easels. EDIT: found a tabletop easel, if that helps you any.

Hope this helps you out!

besides on the shirt...we actually paste the names on a white board and have drilled holes on top to hang in the pit. therefore it's easy to use each year.
