Should Sponsors ask to be recognized?

[Allison K]

If there are benefits to both sides of course it's a win-win situation. Also, I'm not absolutely positive, but I don't think most sponsors require teams to post their names and logos on the robot, banners, shirts, etc. I think it's usually something that the team offers as a thank you to companies who donate. Right?

Even if public recognition is required by the sponsors, I still don't see the problem. The benefits that come from donations are enormous, and if the companies from benefit from sponsoring us as well why is that a bad thing? I would almost hope that the companies could get something in return, other than a little logo on a shirt, which seems somewhat insignificant when compared with what the team gets from the sponsor.
