Re: Congrats 2009 NASA grant awardees

Congrats to all that applied ... and thank you NASA for the opportunity to apply. Rookies with grants - don't forget you need to meet criteria (like Chairman's Award documentation) if you plan to apply next year for NASA funds.

...and in reading the details at the award page:
"As part of the grant award, NASA will cover shipping expenses for the 2009 FRC control system to be shipped to all NASA-sponsored teams prior to the season kick-off. FIRST has been requested to send the FRC control system to each grant award team, at NASA expense, unless you specifically inform NASA and FIRST that you do NOT want to receive it."

Classy move NASA. Taking on the extra expense to make sure all recipients that want/need early controls shipment get it is a very, very nice touch. If you have not yet written your thank you for the opportunity to apply (that means even if you DIDN"T receive a grant, a thanks is in order too), please send one asap!
