The NASA Robotics Alliance Project is pleased to announce the FIRST Robotics Competition participation grants for 2011 competition season. Receipt of a NASA Robotics Alliance Project grant award is contingent upon a team being registered with FIRST and confirmed at the specific event for which the sponsorship applies. Grants may be used for any regional competition event, but they are not transferable to other teams. As indicated in the grant application, awarded funds will not be sent directly from NASA to the winning teams. The awarded funds will be transferred to FIRST on behalf of the awarded team, and used to fund the registration fees for the associated regional competition event.

NASA and Autodesk have worked together this year to provide support for team participation in the 2011 FRC competition. In addition to the traditional team awards funded by NASA, an additional 20 team grants are being sponsored by Autodesk. These awards are noted in the list below with an "Autodesk" tag. The NASA and Autodesk team awards are similar in every respect, with the same opportunities and responsibilities, and went through the same evaluation process. The only difference is the source of the award funding. Thank you to Autodesk for working with us to provide this additional opportunity for team participation in the program.

Remember, teams accepting NASA robotics competition grants are agreeing to the following critical items:
1.	Complete BOTH the Entrance Survey and Exit Surveys for all team members.
2.	Provide NASA with a copy of the team's Chairman's Award Submission or an equivalent document.
3.	Build a robot and compete at the awarded event.
