The efforts he continuously goes to in order to help teams in this state across every program are incredible.

Edit: If you're talking about "why are these teams started with $5000 and no support", I really don't know, other than guessing that FIRST's push for growth made this seem like the logical step forward to those in charge here. While I appreciate the amount of effort to connect these teams to money, you need a LOT more than money to run an effective FRC team.
