What do you all say to them? I've read many of your thoughts on what to do to find help, how you encourage them. Unfortunately, you now find yourself in a similar situation that teams find themselves in every year, and yet find a way to overcome that situation.

The lack of funding for those teams was brought upon them by others, not by FIRST itself. This is FIRST basically telling the already financially strapped teams that they might have to spend even more money on equipment for this year's competition. This is different.
