Re: Boeing as sponsor
Team 21, ComBBAT had Boeing as a main sponsor from 1998-2005. ComBBAT fortunately was just awarded a smaller sponsorship from Boeing for the 2009 season to reestablish the partnership.
Engineers from Boeing KSC, such as Scott Strickland who has been with the team its' entire existence, have been with the team since 1998 giving up their free time to help the team succeed. I was amazed at their dedication in high school and still am by the fact that they still come back year after year. Last edited by miketwalker : 18-10-2008 at 23:49. |

Re: Boeing as sponsor
Congrats to all the Boeing sponsored teams!
Since I know teams are already doing jersey designs, please consider the whitepaper I uploaded here. I work at Boeing, and only got this document last week! Read through it and help ensure we don't run into any silly logo issues. |

Re: Boeing as sponsor
Hello teams,
The Cavaliers in St. Louis,MO got the grant, but as a rookie team we still have a lot work to be done. As a mentor I made a challenge to the team for us to raise $3,000 by end of the year, although this might seem "too large" of a goal for a team that got the Boeing grant, I think this would be a good goal for us to have to ensure we become a sustainable team. There is no guarantees that we will get this very generous grant again. So we need to get our "fund raising machine" going. Every little bit helps. I think that teams that use this opportunity to "diversify" their sponsors will be the ones that will relevant for many years to come. Cheers, Marcos. ![]() |

Re: Boeing as sponsor
The Boeing grant is paid directly to the FIRST organization to pay for the competition fee, to my understanding it is the full-fee of $6,000.
I think 100 grants were given this year for 2009, next year is a "gamble". As a mentor for a rookie team that got the grant this year, I am not assuming that we are going to get it for 2010 season, so I am asking the team to look at the following strategy : 1) Diversify your sponsor base. 2) Do fund raising with school administration support. 3) Ask for parents to contribute early as a show of commitment. Our goal is to have at least $3,000 on top of the entrance fee, and hope we get a lot donated equipment and stuff like old tables from the school library. It is helpful if the team mentor keeps a journal of how the teams is doing financially and review it periodically on what worked and what has not worked. Marcos. |

Re: Boeing as sponsor
Hello All,
I hope everyone had a great season !. I think would be interesting to hear from team both rookies and experienced that got the grant, how this grant was able to help the team. As a mentor for a rookie team, that has been trying to form a team for a couple of years, we were finally able to participate on FRC, instead of just participating on FTC. Because we did not need to worry about getting the money for the kit, we were able to build a second robot to be used for practice before the regional competition. We received the Rookie Inspirational Award - St. Louis Regional. Cheers, Marcos. |

Re: Boeing as sponsor
I was at the LA and Las Vegas Regional, and I couldn't believe how many teams were sponsored by Boeing. It seemed like half the teams in LA got the grant or support in some other way. (My team also got the grant).
Are you from Boeing, Marcos? |
