PICK YOUR SPONSORS

[i like dirt]

Alright, If you could pick any company to sponser your team, who would they be and why?

I assume you mean a sponsor who would give you a place to work and give some support, not just money.

If my assumption is right I would pick OCC (from American chopper) They have the ability to do anything in house and also have a decent base of people with mechanical knowledge. Plus the old shop looks like the ideal place for a practice field.

Sorry for the misconception. What I meant to say is a sponsor who would give you money and support. Not necessarily a place to work

I'd take the production company that does mythbusters. They would have some good ideas

I would like to have my college sponsor Team 204. Even though it is a community college, the engineering dept rocks and also has a lot of tools.

Maybe Dupont also.

You mean M5 Industries. Then you could get your robot on TV!

How about Apple? The robot would be simple to operate, rarely crash, and just work. Plus it would have a very clean look.

I would pick a college, such as MIT or Georgia Tech. -A place where you can work and be taught as well

Innovation First . . cause I wanna see just what that board can do.

[DonRotolo]

Mercedes-Benz USA, 'cause they make the best cars anywhere.

I wouldn't trade Nypro for the world. Between the people, money, facilities, and overall love of our team by the employees and community, it really makes the team what it is.

I'm going to have to go with Sony. Have you seen those dancing robots, those things are sweet!

Sony's great and all, but all they give is computers and a camera.

Personally I would pick Nvidia, cause you could get some sweet computer rigs.

Mountain Dew, to keep the team running during the build season and competitions.

iGUS, because they make a ton of cool stuff and they have a cool company name.

Our existing team sponsors (Meriden, Conn. Board of Education and Bristol Myers Squibb)

A bunch of big companies like GM, NASA, etc for the financial backing.

and ESPN, because their world HQ is 20 minutes away and it makes your team sound impressive to non-FIRSTers be sponsored by ESPN.
