The financial support they receive from NASA is actually less than the amount received by many other NASA grant recipients. They don't have a lot - but they are very, very good at doing a lot with what they have.

I hadn't planned on going there and I can already feel the counterclockwise swirl, but since you brought it up, to my knowledge 254 went to 2 regionals and the championships this year. They have 4
paid college interns to help with their robot. They have a full regulation field to practice on.
I think most teams would consider that pretty well heeled.
