I'm probably terribly biased, but I honestly prefer it this way. I know sponsorship obviously helps sports grow and teams get better, but I really don't want to see massive banners for companies I don't care about everywhere, or even pasted all over the robot like an F1 car. Nor do I want to break halfway through the fight to see an advert for Monster Energy or something equally cheesy and annoying. I want to see combat robotics become a big, international sport, but if that means making a sacrifice like that, I think I'd rather it just stay the way it is now, more of a passion project really. Plus it's no fun if nobody even has to economise and use slightly less-than-new components to get by, rather than just having everything purpose-built straight away - it takes half the ingenuity away for me. Maybe I'm wrong or being unrealistic, that's just my view on it.
