As a FIRST Partner, 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 Creo/ProE software. As the Gear Heads continue, these tools will see full use and be greater team benefit. PTC has graciously continued to sponsored the Gear Heads for the 2012 competition. |

BAE Systems was the origin of the Prospect Gear Heads team.
