I don't think I'll have luck starting a team in Manhattan this year without a KC regional or NASA grant. Does anyone know of any good grant programs that would be applicable to starting a FIRST team? From where I am I'm looking at a 7-8 hour trip out-of-state to the nearest regional and I'll be hard-pressed to convince a school or teacher to add a 10-20K program in the middle of State budget problems. Two hours on a yellow bus would be much more reasonable.

I'm not sure how close your are to Wichita but I'd suggest talking to Boeing. If you can find anyone that works there, they can suggest that your team get money from the Employee Community Fund (or at least that's how it works in Southern California).
