Re: FRC Grant Opportunity- RoboTerra’s Global Impact Grant

Regarding the requirements of the grant:

3.Agree to be involved in RoboTerra activities for one year (sending a representative(s) to serve on RoboTerra’s curriculum development tele-conferences, providing active team involvement in 2015 Off-Season Invitational organized by RoboTerra).

What does this mean? The team has to send a representative that is schooled in curriculum development to a (tele)-conference to help you write curriculm for you to sell to other school systems? And where is the Off Season Invitational going to be held? It may cost teams more money to attend an event in North Carolina than the grant is worth. Or is RoboTerra covering travel expenses for the team?

One last question: Has this grant been approved by FIRST? I find it a little "off" that you chose to announce it here, on a public forum, rather than the normal channels, such as a FIRST press release.
