This, this, this. Garnet Squadron didn't get selected for the NASA Grant initially in the fall of 2013--and the list came out the Monday before the payment deadline.
I have taken robot arms swinging wide to the chin. I have stood on FIRST fields submerged in four inches of water. I have chased down robots in autonomous in a room of new computers. I have seen a robot not move at all in the elimination rounds.
That experience was scarier than all of them.
Between the FRC Rookie Grant and other funding, we scraped the money together around dinnertime the night before the payment deadline. But I never want to be in that position again. Get your money, get some mentors.
