BAE Systems was the origin of the Prospect Gear Heads team. Begun by a team member parent employed by BAE Systems, the Gear Heads were launched by more than grant funding, but also by the guidance by the BAE Systems FIRST community that provided early mentoring and team alliances that brought early maturity to the Gear Heads. |

NASA is a partner in FIRST and graciously provided the Gear Heads Team a grant to fund our competition at the 2009Honolulu Hawaii Regional last year and has again provided support for the 2010 FRC. Additionally, NASA Robotics Alliance has been supportive in providing a full arena for a practice session for robot testing.
NASA has been a great support of Science and Technology for all levels of learning. The FIRST FRC competition contribution by NASA is greatly appreciated. |

As a FIRST Partner/Sponsor, PTC grew their involvement in sponsoring the Gear Heads. Working with PTC has been an educational experience for the team, as they grew to use Windchill and began to convey the power and capability of ProE software. As the Gear Heads continue, these tools will see full use and be greater team benefit. For a rookie team, we’ve traveled a fast and challenging road and PTC is a partner in that path of growth. |

Western Digital Corp has sponsored FRC Teams and even provided hard drives at the 2009 SV Regional to teams. The Gear Heads are fortunate to have WDS support and involvement.
