Heard about this a few weeks ago through the Oregon FIRST grapevine. Very upsetting. We came very close to not being able to afford to participate, so it is gut-wrenching to see other teams in the same boat.
For any 1432 members reading this: are there any local FRC teams who would agree to let you share their shop? This may be something you've discussed already, or might not be practical, but those Beaverton teams make it work
[2898 and 1510]
I can't remember whether our Regional Director was how we heard about this, or just the local teams here in Corvallis. If you haven't done so, I would recommend sending info to our RD and asking her to forward it to the Oregon teams. I know there are so many people here who'd love to help you.
Best wishes to you guys.
