I just checked in with FIRST, they expect to hear from Boeing today.

Milken Knights (SoCal) has been approved for FIRST@Boeing Grant.

Cheers,
Mark.

Check with your Boeing mentors as the grant notifications should have gone out today. The Boeing mentor needs to reply back & accept the grant for it to be official.

Re: Is any teams still awaiting for a grant result before ?
 

Got our notification today. Thanks a ton for your help Ryan and a huge thank you to Boeing!

Re: Is any teams still awaiting for a grant result before ?
 

The news is trickling down so teams will hear one way or another....some teams have not heard it yet if they got the grant or not........

Cheers,
Mark.

Everything is down to the wire... Just heard yesterday we got an FRC Team Support Grant, and today Boeing made announcement. Not quite 11th hour, but close.

Re: Is any teams still awaiting for a grant result before ?
 

Boeing was supposedly announcing grant results today, but we didn't get an email stating the outcome either way. Ended up paying registration from our account so it would be on time, hopefully we do get Boeing's support and the extra can just get returned to us.

Team 1836: The Milken Knights would like to thank Boeing for their generous support of our program.

Re: Is any teams still awaiting for a grant result before ?
 

Team 1640, Sab-BOT-age, is very grateful and excited to receive Boeing and UTC Sikorsky support for the 2013 season!


Just to make sure, you know notification goes to your Boeing mentor point of contact (not your TIMS main contact), right? I hope you hear soon! FIRST was very convenient about refunding our payment last time when we were in a similar situation.

Re: Is any teams still awaiting for a grant result before ?
 

Yep! One of our Boeing mentors has been keeping us updated.

Re: Is any teams still awaiting for a grant result before ?
 

Yup there are a few teams that are still on the balance.

I am having a meeting today on a telecom with the few of teams that got rejected and that does not have enough money to compete.....

Next week I am having a telecom with teams that wish to build a demo robot instead of a competition robot.

Re: Is any teams still awaiting for a grant result before ?
 

Did the funds get credited to your TIMS account yet? It did not show up for us yet.

Re: Is any teams still awaiting for a grant result before ?
 

Ours shows up as a PO from Boeing.
