It's not unreasonable to expect that sponsors want some demonstration of return on their investment. If you can not or choose not to provide trophies, awards or banners to them, I would expect that you are providing them with other data that demonstrates the value of their ongoing contributions. It's true that FIRST works even for teams that do not win events or awards, but it's harder to demonstrate that success to people that are not involved deeply in the program and the burden is on us to provide proof of the valuable effects of their contributions.
