Re: What can FIRST do to increase FRC team sustainability?

NASA has been supporting new teams for awhile with their grants. This is the type of large scale project that is not a waste of time for FIRST.

Maybe FIRST can garner similar support for 2nd, 3rd, 4th year teams. Like, let the a corporation grab that year and stick with supporting.

Imagine 3M or 3DSystems giving $3000 to 300 3rd year teams!
