Mechanics from Mineola Motor Car Co. garage pose during the 1906 Vanderbilt Cup race on Long Island in New York. The race was held
from 1904 to 1910 and was one of the most popular sporting events of its day, drawing crowds of 150,000 to 200,000. It was so
popular, in fact, it inspired a Broadway musical called, unimaginatively, The Vanderbilt Cup. In 1906, the 10-lap race was run on a 29.7mile course through the streets and drew competitors from across the U.S. and Europe. Frenchman Louis Wagner won, coming across the
finish line to what is believed to be the first use of a checkered flag to signal the end of an automobile race.

It costs between $2,000 and $5,000 to sponsor a FIRST team - less
than a rounding error in most stores' annual advertising budgets.
Sponsors usually provide supplies, tools and advice - and sometimes
mentors. The sponsor's logo is often placed on the robot, and it's used
during the team's promotional activities. Trust me when I tell you that
that exposure alone makes it worth it.
The teams are out in their communities year-round raising money to
buy the supplies to build their robots. And they love to brag about their
sponsors.
Since not all kids in FIRST go to college, sponsoring a team can open
your service drive doors to those who want to start their careers right

after high school. They'll come to work with a solid grounding in many
of the skills needed to work on tomorrow's vehicles, and a thirst to learn
more.
" Working with these kids has been unbelievable, " Ferguson says.
" These kids' minds are like sponges. They're looking for root cause of
failure. It's really about root cause analysis, and that's what techs do for
a living. A car comes in and it's bucking, well you have to go through the
value tree. "
Chances are your store is already working with local vocational
schools. But, knowing what automakers have coming, I say you should
also take a look at getting involved with your local FIRST team. When
live events resume, go to a competition. You'll see a bigger pool of
potential techs interested in electronics in one place than you can
imagine.
