If "rich" means that I have a truck with a broken taillight and and a rusty bumper or if it means that I eat Hot Pockets for lunch, then I am guilty.

And i have been saying they need to work on their Marketing and Name for years now ...

I personally think that without FRC, the registeration of the FTC program would increase immensely to maintain the same quality.

That being said, I don't mind FIRST striking a deal with lego as long as the registeration price remains around $275.

Whoa, hold on a second. The GDC gets paid? Affiliates get paid? Both of these "positions" are strictly volunteer. If you're right I've gotta go find three years worth of checks somewhere ;).

Edit ... darn I'm behind here .... Karthik, when you and Dave get your checks, we're all going out to dinner!

As for the bidding, I'm cheaper than Lavery. I'll give up my spot for a REALLY good burger.

I just counted my payoff for this year for volunteering with the FIRST programs:

13 : T-shirts (volunteers and FLL & FRC team)
15 : Full meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
4 : CAPs from Teams
A Ton: Snacks (donuts, soda, pizza, chips, candy)
A Ton: Team Buttons and misc items
1 : "Disco Dave" Button (prizeless)
