Craziest sponsor you have

[omutton]

We have a local funeral home as well as a dentist and a doctor.

We've had some odd sponsors-

Merrilee the Clown - oddly a past team parent (whole family of clowns!)- no jokes please!

and

Royal Hawaiian Creations (www.gorhc.com) - our perennial source of aloha shirts. They have never met us but apparently they hang pictures of our team in their office every year. They even watch the competition on the internet to see how we do!

We don't have any unbelievable crazy sponsors, so I'll turn your attention to the CCNY/HSMSE FRC Team #1520, who nabbed Red Bull as a sponsor, so every day they worked on the bot, a red bull car would deliver a case

[Mme.Miscellania]

We don't have any particularly unusual ones, but 1823 from Portland has Voodoo Doughnut - famous (infamous?) for its Pepto-Bismol donuts and odd operating hours (10pm-10am).
They also perform marriages and give Swahili lessons.

A local carpeting store is our craziest...

As some may know, team 306 has a long list of small sponsors. The craziest of them include sewing shops, a potato chip company, a hair salon, our local hospital, an optometrists office, and a pizza shop. Our total sponsor list contains arround fifty to sixty small businesses from our town. The strangest to me is the hair salon, but the others are weidr too.

Really, the hair salon is the strangest?

I thought for sure that it would be the fish hatchery

We've had fairly normal sponsors.... but in awesomeness factor, we have one that sweeps the boards. Intuitive Surgical, the guys who make the DaVinci Surgical Robot, were one of our valued sponsors this year.

Don't discount that they sponsor us too! It's such a great feeling knowing that the industry is impressed with what you're doing. btw, you (114) had an awsome robot. Good luck at SAC

[Cody Carey]

If you are speaking about the fish hatchery... I don't know if they bothered making a logo

Signshop from Hell

Its a sign shop, from Hell Michigan One of our mentors owns/runs it.

[Adama]

One of our (1464) sponsers is a company that builds horse farms.

[Stuart]

Im going to go with 3.

a tex mex restaurant(awsome fajitas BTW)
the local barbershop(they would only sponser us if the below sponsered us)
and the local vacuum shop(they would only sponser us if the above sponsered us)

they're not really weird or crazy but sara lee has sponsored 1038 in the past...and puffs tissues sponsored us this year...not really sure how they relate to robotics

We have Dr. Greg Olsen, a local resident as well as the 3rd ever Private Astronaut. He went to the International Space Station and while he was in space he sent us an email saying that he'd like to sponsor us. Pretty cool, but we had to wait for the check until he came back to earth.

It's pretty cool, but the Clown is kinda tough to beat, I'm guessing he gives free training to 25 (not like they need it).

[Off Season Plug]By the way, if you come to Monty Madness, you'll get to see Greg Olsen as our keynote speaker. [/Off season Plug] [related note] the $100 enterence fee deal ends March 31 so sign up quick! [/lots of off topicness]
