This last one is about cost. We recieved a 7000 doller grant from NASA, as about 2/3 of everyone else did, and, as I understand, 6000 of that went to USFIRST to enter the contest, pay for EDURobot and the box of stuff they send us. The other 1000 can be used for extra parts. what did other people spend on their robots above and beyond the 6000 doller initial fee. I am wondering if I should begin calling local companies for grants. Help and answers are much appreciated.
I don't think that many teams got NASA grants, mostly rookies and some 2nd year teams, (the list) . You proabably want to start contating some compaines, our team is rather big (50 students) and we are going to Midwest and The Championship, but we figure we need to raised about $50,000 (the more the better) to compete successfully this year, we have gotten $5000 from our school and figure aboout $20-25000 in corporate donations, and we'll fundraise the rest (candy bars, pizza, etc.....)........


And the build is about 6 weeks,
