Rockwell Automation sponsorship

[jspatz1]

Any teams out there that have some experience with receiving sponsorship from Rockwell Automation, and have any information on how/who to contact there?

We're also wondering about this. We have an office pretty close by, but the last time we contacted them, they referred us to HQ?

You have to have a Rockwell Automation employee as one of your mentors. Rockwell Automation sponsors all levels of FIRST. Once you have a Rockwell employee they can work with you to submit the application to the corporate office. Unless you already have a Rockwell employee working with you, you will miss the application deadline for this year.
If you are interested in trying to gain a Rockwell Automation mentor for your team please pm with your: team name and number, what FIRST competition you are in, school name and location, desired area of expertise, and an email address to contact a head team mentor. I will try to put the word out and what interest is your area. Please note it may take a while to locate an employee who is interested and most teams can speed this process up by having a parent or other resource who already works at Rockwell.
