What's really unfortunate is that I can point to all of these teams having multiple successful seasons with their machines and/or being a strong team in all aspects and now all of them have to go out in an FRC-heavy region and go replace an upper-tier sponsor.

At least they did't pull the rug out in November and all of these teams have the potential to start new relationships with companies looking to support something as awesome as FIRST.

And hey, I've been in a position on a team where we had enough for registration, the kit, and whatever was in our pockets and finished second and fourth at our events.

Analyze, adjust, anticipate. Don't panic.
