Re: What Does "Our Team Really Needs Funding" Mean To You?
I really don't know and I'm also wondering what that pressure is like on groups and organizations that help fund teams and support their efforts. It's fine with me if there are strict guidelines in place but:

a. do those guidelines apply across the board or are there variables?
b. who knows the guidelines and availabilities of funding and support?
c. what teams automatically think, oh - we don't qualify - we aren't going to ask or apply or submit a request and don't?

Why am I thinking about this? Because I think there will continue to be a burgeoning demand placed on those who support the FRC program and the teams and I also think there is a continued opportunity for teams to misunderstand and even misrepresent true need.
