content: Hey Guys,I'm an electronic engineering student and my class has a group project to create an autonomous vehicle used in a race against other students. The Mechanical students have installed a Hydrogen cell which works in tandem with a lipo battery cell to power it. Our job is to make it drive un-assisted and race them in an endurance race. Part of the assignment is to present a sales model, budget constraints etc etc.What I am looking for is a few mock sponsors. Or more to the point some decals / stickers to adorn it and make it look a little more the part. =DIn my report I intend to use such sponsorship as a potential way to pay for the expected cost of developing such a full scale product. This is all a hypothetical situation of course and at no point will i ask or expect money. All I want is stickers / decals for electronic related companies or products.The race is to the best of my knowledge recorded but I don't know where the video ends up or anything so I don't expect it to be of any real advertising benefit.So yeah if you or your company have any smallish decals / stickers you would be willing to donate to this please feel free to post a reply below or send me a private message. I can send you a self addressed envelope etc.For anyone interested specs:Sensors are a standard of the shelf HC-SR04 Ultra sonic distance sensor. (Price was the driving factor here)Arduino nanos hold the Micros (time permitted I will replace these with an Atmega 32 and remove nano)SD card for dataloggingNokia 5110 for display / interfaceESP8266 wifi moduleADXL345 GyroIt will also have a ip camera to stream video.It's still in prototype stage but image attached for interested parties.I intend to re-paint and fill the unused holes I made in the body to bring it back to looking pretty.

content: Well, it won't be electronics related, but if you go to your local RC racetrack or shop, they might be able to hit you up with stickers that are to scale (1:10) and are actual big businesses the people outside of the electronics-world might know of.They might even have a spare (unpainted) body for you, and the correct type of paints to use on a lexan body.
