FRC Team 4188, the Columbus Space Program, will be the host team of a 35 team qualification tournament to be held in Columbus, Georgia in March 2017. The District event sponsors will also be listed as team sponsors as the hope is to fund the event with funds held for the local teams as well. For the team sponsors, all Gold and higher sponsors will be displayed prominently in our pit area for all local visitors, teams, local dignitaries, and residents. This event will draw thousands of people from the Columbus and Ft. Benning area. We want to proudly display our relationship with our sponsors for all to see.

Gold and higher sponsorships have access to our Edge of Space benefit. The Columbus Space Program has its own access to the edge of space through a high altitude science platform carried by hydrogen filled balloons that can reach altitudes over 100,000 feet. These balloons are tracked and recovered, which allows for amazing high res photos of the curve of the Earth with the black space in the background. Imagine your company logo or mascot suspended in this environment captured with a 16 megapixel digital camera.
