NASA is very excited your team is planning to participate in FRC this year. You are choosing to provide students with the opportunity to use their minds to accomplish an incredible task: starting with ideas that exist only in the minds of your team members and then creating a functioning robot in only a few weeks. As you get started with the process of applying for sponsorship from NASA, we want to explain a few things to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
