sponsorship

[Ellis]

I had a number of great sponsors for Pulsar. The robot would have been completely impossible without their support. I will be promoting them online when the time comes, and not as a sell-out, but genuinely because they deserve it. You often form a personal relationship with folks at the company, and whilst yes they are doing it for exposure, they are still giving away time/items for free. Heavyweights are mighty expensive - I think it's healthy for all involved to get some official support.

I expect to see an increase in sponsorship for Robot Wars teams in (fingers crossed they happen!) future series as energy and destruction gets crazy. I certainly know my pockets aren't deep enough to do this on the regular!
