I think most teams would consider that pretty well heeled.

There are only three NASA interns working with The Cheesy Poofs (EJ, Cory, and myself). We make barely enough money to cover the gas we use to get to and from NASA along with an odd meal here and there. If you want an actual dollar amount you’ll have to ask us in private. Not to mention the fact that our three college students aren’t being reimbursed just to mentor Team 254, but Team 1868 as well. Our field isn’t regulation; we ghetto-rig the obstacles every year like everyone else, and the field is of the 24’ x 48’ variety. You’re either guessing at how you think our team must be run, or are intentionally spreading misinformation. Please stop.
