Re: FIRST Selected for Google's Project 10^100

This is a somewhat extreme idea, but it would certainly shape FIRST in great ways.

If you divvy up 3 million among any significant number of teams, it's not an amount that will change teams for years to come.

I think if google set aside the money to pay 100 engineers a year, for the 6 week build (and maybe through regionals), a rather decent wage, they'd have enough money for 2-3 seasons.

I'm tired of walking down pit row and seeing too many teams that clearly had no real technical mentor ship, and despite the best efforts of their students, there was just no overcoming that hurdle.
