you can only get the NASA grant for two years, and you are correct, you have to get other sponsors lined up
obviously, you cant fund a team for only $6000.

'obviously'?
Last year the only cash we got was the NASA grant. Of our other sponsors: One gave us a 30% discount on 80/20, the other gave us a few hundred dollers worth of sprockets, chain, and pillowblocks.
So you CAN fund a team on 6000 if you try . . . . This year we are hoping to have twice that figure . . . .
If we can get 6k of our own (actually, if the school can raise 6k for us, because they don't want us interfereing with THEIR fundraising so they are going to do ours for us . . .
) then NASA will give us 6k and we will all be happy.
