NASA Grant

[geomapguy]

Today is the NASA Grant announcement day! Hopefully they won't delay it. Anyone anxious??

Beyond. Sorry for the compulsive refreshing, NASA!

Just wondering, where do they usually post the grant details? Is it: http://frc-grants.arc.nasa.gov/rcs/directions.php

In all that text they say they'll post it on http://robotics.nasa.gov/

Though I've been checking both...every 5 minutes.

Totally missed that link. There's way too much text on that page.

Thanks! Good luck to everyone applying for the grants!

It'll be on this link except instead of 2013 it will be 2014. The webpage isn't live yet.

Is it possible that because of the government shutdown, the date well be extended? Maybe they just forgot to post the new release date

I doubt it. They had over a month to fix that date. And with no acts of God, I don't see why they haven't posted anything.

Are they in a different time zone maybe?

It's worthy to note that they always close the application in Pacific Time.

Also, please keep in mind the website does state 11:59:59pm PST

It is our plan to announce selections no later than Friday, November 29, 2013, 23:59:59 (PST). Please note that this is our current best estimate for the announcement date. The date may have to change due to circumstances beyond our control. If this should happen, a revised estimate of the announcement date will be posted on the RAP web site as quickly as possible.

The message on the homepage has changed in the past hour or two:

NASA's FIRST Robotics Competition Grant Application

The NASA FIRST Robotics Competition grant application system for the 2014 FRC season is now closed. Grant winners will be announced shortly.

No response yet! More than an hour and a half after the deadline.
