Re: Which Sponsor has the Most Successful teams?
Team 64 the Gila Monsters split into team 39 and team 1013 acording to this thread http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...=GIla+Monsters
Second if you want to look at it, UTC and GM are the only two that can hold the crown. 201 is another GM team that has been very successful, with a trip to Einstein this year. UTC is probably the most underated though. 173,174,175,176,177,179,and 180 are among the best in FIRST year in and year out. This year they had 6 regional victories. There seems to be a correlation between UTC teams and GM teams. This year 494 won Buckeye with 174, last year we partnered with 179 at championship, 173 picked 66 another GM team when they won the championship and this year 177 rounded out their Galileo winning aliance with team 201. I just thought that was weird Last edited by JackN : 13-10-2006 at 19:58. |

I'm going to pull an Andy Grady here and bring up a great team of the past: What about the Pilgrim Nuclear Technology Alliance, sponsor of the retired team 23? They were active for five seasons, and brought home a Chairman's Award, two CA finalists, a Championship Rookie All-Star (basically bringing home some form of top-level recognition every year but their last, at which point they'd already won Chairman's), and a Woodie Flowers Award to boot. That's nothing to sneeze at. |

While I find it interesting that you bring up the UTC block as I like to call it, you are missing team 181 in there, and also a lot of UTC teams that have been up and coming in recent years, although haven't neccessarily gained as much attention. I must say though that you really can't judge a program based off of sponsors, as some teams only get money from a sponsor, and others get an engineering support staff devoted to the program. Also to single out any one sponsor in FIRST as being most successful based on wins is foolish as most wins in a competition are based a lot on luck, and a lot on strategy. I agree with Ken, as well as that I feel that any sponsor of any FIRST team deserves recognition because they realize what an amazing program FIRST is. |

Re: Which Sponsor has the Most Successful teams?
I could be wrong but isn't 179 a UTC team also ?

So, my team may not have been the top team (I've been on since fall of '04), but I still received a great education and experience in engineering that showed me what I can and want to do with my life; It then gave me the tools and opportunities to do so. |

Re: Which Sponsor has the Most Successful teams?
Looking up north, the Toronto District School Board and the efforts of Mr. Mark Breadner, a UFh and company cannot be overlooked. I am not sure of any other school board in any other region that has given support to as many teams as the TDSB. From my days as a student, I had heard that they paid for every team's initial entry fee into what was then the Canadian Regional. They have positions and chairs within their organization dedicated to FIRST and continue to actively support it with intiatives like the Innovation fund. If someone with a bit more information could clarify their exact position in relation to how teams operate and their expenses that would be great. I just know that everytime I walk into a Canadian regional, over 90% of the teams that are there have a TDSB and the familiar half apple logo attached to their robot.

Re: Which Sponsor has the Most Successful teams?
If you're going to say that one sponsor has x teams, and the other has more, and therefore the one with x teams has more awards per team, then beatty definitely takes the cake, even though they sponsor one team.
i would venture to say, however, that the company that gives the most to teams/FIRST is the real winner. |

Re: Which Sponsor has the Most Successful teams?
Just a thought reading this, but has anyone ever thought about how the college sponsored teams do against the corporate sponsored teams???
