That is so wrong. 
I'm absolutely certain that some evenings and weekends were spent evaluating the 600+ proposals. The end-game (who does/doesn't get a grant) is very challenging and handled by very few dedicated and committed individuals. They know the NASA grant is make-or-break for many teams and need to make hard decisions. Be thankful for those NASA people who care about all the FRC teams (not just their own).
BTW, many NASA people routinely work on evenings and weekends for their "day jobs." They are professionals and will do whatever it takes to get things done right.
