Corporate sponsors provide goods and/or services towards the JuggerBot
combat effort.
Each deal is negotiated on a case-by-case basis with Team leader
Mike Morrow.
What's the COST?
Typically, Corporate Sponsorship financial investment value is $500-$3000 in
the form of discounts or donations.
What's the BENEFIT?
There are numerous benefits to sponsorship- JuggerBot can provide a unique
advertising platform and a spearhead into uncharted markets for high-tech
goods and services.
Specific benefits of sponsorship:
- On-board advertising during televised BattleBots
We can offer large
sections of external real estate on JuggerBot to display your company
advertisement, logo, website, or anything else you desire. A portion of the
matches are televised, meaning your message could get 3 minutes of airtime
on one of Comedy Central's most highly rated shows (the premier was the
"highest rated premier in network history"). Additionally, some of the
battlebots compete on Jay Leno, offering network exposure for your company.
NOTE: TLC, unlike BattleBots, cannot allow on-bot advertising for their
competition, but they allow pit banners (see below). Samples of what
JuggerBot might look like with your advertisement are available on request.
- Advertising in the pits
A corporate banner developed by your company or
Team:JuggerBot will be displayed prominently in the JuggerBot pit area at
all events and in the JuggerBot shop during the TLC filming (deadline for
TLC exposure: February 4th, 2001).
- Parametric Data
If you provide high-tech hardware like data collectors,
motors, controllers, etc, you will have full access to any and all
parametric data collected during development or in combat. This includes
survivability data on hardware and data from benchtop performance
evaluations.
- Battlebots Newsgroup
There is a highly active Battlebots user forum where
builders exchange ideas, concepts, and sources for components. If desired,
we can provide company advertising to the Battlebots community, including
specifics on the hardware we use from your company. This could serve to open
up a new, unique customer base for your products.
- Merchandise
A quantity of JuggerBot merchandise would be provided to
sponsors and employees as a "thank you". This merchandise includes shirts,
magnets, stickers, and other items as they are created.
- Website
Corporate sponsors receive recognition on the sponsorship page.
We can provide a link to your corporate webpage on juggerbot.com. Additionally,
we can place banners on appropriate pages at juggerbot.com. These links can
point to your corporate webpage or to an internal JuggerBot custom page
highlighting your products used on JuggerBot. Web samples available on
request.
- Demo Visit
If you have facilities on the West Coast, a JuggerBot
promotional visit and demo can be arranged before or after one of the
California or Nevada World Championships. The next championship is possibly
in San Francisco this April. TLC Robot Challenge is in LA March 1-4.
- T-shirts
Major sponsors receive recognition as one of our corporate
sponsors on the team T-shirts, including logo and message of your choosing.
(Subject to shirt printing schedules)
- Backlot access
Sponsors will receive access codes to "The Other
Side" of the JuggerBot webpage. There you will find extensively detailed
schematics, specifications, and up-to-the-minute photos of JuggerBot
activities not available on the public webpage.
