Benefits of Sponsoring. Why would you want your company to sponsor Team 41? Well, sponsoring a FIRST Robotics team is encouraging high school students to take interest in science. In America, our education system is having a problem with producing students that want to become engineers, scientists, and other careers in this field. Because of this, America is slowly loosing its edge on technology to developing nations in the world. While each year, America is producing less and less engineering students, powers like China are outputting more and more. By supporting this program and helping out a team, you are encouraging students to explore these fields. And the results are working.

For example, in recent years the RoboWarriors has inspired dozens of students to continue their interests in robotics. Matt Tyler, a student who liked to take things apart. Garrett Dicken, who liked to program computers. Reema Sil loved leading a team and building things. The FIRST Robotics program inspired these individuals to major in all sorts of engineering fields in top colleges across the country.

How to Help Out. There are many ways to help us out, and any help is greatly appreciated. Raw materials, technical expertise, or any financial support are all helpful. Even minor things like food, custom t-shirts, or anything of this sort are just a few examples of what would help. Our current sponsors and how they help out are listed here:

• ANADIGICS Inc. - A local engineering firm provides us with financial support as well as sponsoring us with a full-time engineer
• The Knotts Co. - A raw materials store gives us unlimited access to certain raw metal for building our robot
• Watchung Hills Regional High School - Our high school gives us money, coaches, and time in the school to build and test the robots
