Colorado Space Grant Consortium (CSGC) Check out the Texas Space Grant Consortium, http://www.tsgc.utexas.edu/. They will give you a grant if you can finagle them into thinking it's aerospace related or has aerospace applications. The CSGC has given me grants for an autonomous UAV I built as well as the sailplane winch launch telemetry system I'm currently working on for my 11th grade science fair project. Both of these projects involve expenses of >$1,000, all of which they cover. If you can't talk the Texas Space Grant Consortium into giving you some money, try elsewhere, especially wiht local universities. There are all kinds of places just begging to hand you some dough if you don't mind sucking up and writing a pretty long proposal. - Robert -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
