2,000,000 / 4,000 = 500.

500 teams could have their bot fully financed by NASA over the next to years. Or 1,000 teams could get 1/2 of their bot financed by NASA. If the government should pull all FIRST funding, there would be a large deficit. Including regionals dropping and teams dropping.

I would like to see $2m come into FIRST's hands, even if $1 is never to reach me directly, regardless of source.
