College-supported FRC teams

[Billfred]

2815 is supported by members of the University of South Carolina. (Go Gamecocks!)

[Joe G.]

WPI officially supports 190 and 1735.

171 (Cheese Curd Herd) works in a UW-Platteville (WI) building and mentored largely by students.

830 (Rat Pack) is mentored and sponsored by University of Michigan.

1306 (BadgerBOTS) is sponsored by University of Wisconsin, and probably mentored by students as well.

Milwaukee School of Engineering students mentor several Milwaukee area teams, and at least my old team (1675, UPS) was sponsored by them. I can't speak for the other teams in the area though.

EDIT: I can list a few more teams, but I'm not sure if we are discerning between "a school gives them money" and "students from the school mentor the students" or where the cut-off is. There is a team an hour or so away from Iowa State U, and they receive money from the school of engineering... do they count in this list?

*4272 will most likely be getting some mentors from PFP. They will also probably be getting some kind of support from Purdue. Nothing is for sure right now, but it appears they will also be supported in some way by Purdue.
