Team Name Rule

[danshaffer]

you can 'sell' your team name for whatever you think it could fetch, or just give it to your largest sponsor or all of your sponsors or all of your $500+ sponsors or whatever. no official policy (as far as i know, and after seeing those rules, seems pretty clear)

Just looked up our team Policy.

Donations of 5,000 dollars or more will get:
Name of company in team name
Large Logo on Robot
Recognition in Publicity Events
4 tickets to Awards Dinner
Unique GRR Plaque.

Not the exact wording, but thats what we got for us. There are other "divisions" for other amounts, but thats the top one.

We have a similar tier system. The amount that a corporation donates determines how much recognition they will recieve. We also sell ad space on our robot for sponsors that aren't interested in some of the other perks that we offer. The top level sponsorship is 6k+ in which the sponsor becomes part of the team name.

Some of the other stuff we have for lower level sponsors are:
Ad on the side of our trailer
Robot ad space
Patron Book ad space (thanks rolling thunder for the patron book idea!)
Invitation to team award events

You need to be careful about branding your team with a name that might not be ideal next year.

Make sure you acknowledge you sponsors in TIMS. That way any official printed materials will show your sponsors names.
