Teams have done it for less in the past, but I'd almost bet my collection of FRC coach badges that they prioritized of cost over all else in the design process.
So I think we are agreeing - This grant application opportunity is aimed at FRC programs (or at FRC and some other expensive programs I don't know about) - Correct?
