The real names have been posted.

Just build a robot, go to the 10 year old event, and try to have fun? Sound like a plan?

I believe that sponsorship does matter to an extent no matter which point of view.
Receiving a NASA grant for example and having the requirements of putting NASA "meatball" stickers and in our team name means it does from a competitor's standpoint.
The Hawaii regional is heavily sponsored by BAE and is on our CA banner for 2008.
