In case you have not heard, we just announced the format for $250,000 worth of grants being made available to help FIRST Lego League graduates start and join new FTC teams. This is a great opportunity for those who have participated in FLL and are ready to move on to the next level. It's also a great chance for FTC teams to reach out to FLL'ers as they form new teams.
The specifics are here: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/ftc/grow
In short, newly formed FTC teams can take advantage of grants being made available by LEGO and FIRST. The FIRST grants cover the full registration for FTC ($275/team) and an additional $300 towards the cost of running your team. The LEGO grants provide $100 per former FLL member on new FTC teams, up to a maximum of three members ($300) for use in buying robotic kits/parts.
New teams can take advantage of both offers for a total of up to $875 per team.
The only requirements are that the FTC teams are new, and include at least one former FLL team member. Once the $250,000 is claimed these grants will no longer be available so get going!
