Pepsi has setup a website, where people can submit ideas for certian amounts of money. Every month, new applications get selected and are posted onto their website. Then people can vote on which idea they think are best. The top 10 in our category will recieve the grants. This is a wonderful program and we are all excited to be part of it!
I have submitted my team (3181 Pittsford Panthers) in for $25,000 under the education area.
I suggest teams think about proposals that support your entire community for years to come. If 10 more FRC teams submit proposals on PEPSI to fund your own team and tools, the general public voting will not bode well for FIRST projects.
Grants need to be creative , original and inspiring to people who do not understand robotics.
