Unfortunately in many companies' and peoples' minds, winning is everything. And I'm not sure how to tell if that is their philosophy or not without straight out asking them (which I wouldn't do). Tell them your team's competition record if you have a good one, if not put even more emphasis on other aspects of the program.
And I'll happily disagree with you. In our rookie year (2004), our team attempted to get our current sponsor (Sun Hydraulics), but they declined because they wanted us to compete first without their help. We got last place at Orlando. In 2005, we approached them again and they basically paid for our entire robot beyond the $6,000 entry fee (extra parts, yards of 80/20, lexan, etc.) and supplied us with engineers and a work area to boot.
