Many of the engineers on team 84 don't have their company associated with our team. Actually...I think they are associated (after being confronted by our engineers, probably) but we're still taking engineers/mentors from anywhere. My dad works for the freaking FSA (Farm Service Agency...part of the USDA) and he is a mentor. The federal government doesn't exactly give us any money
