NASA Grant news?

"NASA will review submitted applications and inform teams of their selection via the NASA Robotics Alliance Project (RAP) web site (http://robotics.nasa.gov). It is our plan to announce selections no later than Monday, 21 November, 2011, 23:59:59 (PST)."

Too early to assume they were unable to do as intended? Getting anxious to see who hit the jackpot!

Re: NASA Grant news?

Will we find out via email if we won or not? Or will it be public on their site?

That makes it sound like the website.
Hoping for some good news...

2815 applied for a grant this year--I know it's a long shot, but we're glad NASA is continuing to support new and veteran FRC teams no matter when or how the people in charge make up their minds.

Re: NASA Grant news?

Thanks (again!) to the folks at NASA for selecting and supporting team 3259. A month or two ago, it looked like we weren't going to be able to compete this year, but with the support of a new sponsors, and now NASA, things are definately looking up!

Dave (or anyone else in the know), I recall there being an address posted several years ago to send thank you cards to; is it still correct?

Re: NASA Grant news?

Oh thank goodness. Our districts dropping of funding for the program after they managed to raise a 1million dollar debt wont stop us from competing.

Re: NASA Grant news?

Whoo Hoo!
NY Rookie 4006 has been granted, too.
That'll mean we can afford to buy some tools and materials with our other fundraising- we're working with loaners now.

Thank You NASA!

Congratulations teams!
