Has anyone ever had Monster as an OFFICIAL sponsor? 1646 called the people who dealt with sponsorship, and they said that they had never heard of FIRST, and wanted to focus on motocross and other extreme sports.

Wouldn't FIRST be classified as an extreme sport? We are, after all, like the WWF, but smarter

I got pretty close to having them sponsor a side project combat robotics team, but they don't really do robotics. If someone gets a rep to come to the competition (even informally), I think they'll see how big of a target audience they have available...

They said "they don't really do robotics?" I think you're right, if they visited a competition, they might change their minds about that.

Might want to stay tune closer to FLR for some info on team 2228 for FLR...

That's what one of the California Reps told me. If they had any sort of presence up here in Spokane, I'd be trying to get them to sponsor us...

Is that contraption even safe lol. I wish we had some carzy huge insane company as our sponsors, not like NASA isn't crazily insanely huge, but a new one would be cool too
