Cuts cost, keeps trophy size, and still allows teams to get extra trophies to give to sponsors/ schools/etc if they so choose.

Edit: trophies bought for manufacturing and shipping cost: no mark-up.
No offense, but NO.

FIRST has continued to cut costs and that has directly impacted the value that the teams receive. I think it's time they start taking a VERY VERY close look at their own organization, and looking at efficiencies, or lack thereof, before they go after one of the primary reasons (and reminders) of why so many teams compete.

Hey, you could move on to what Ford does now, and is roundly ridiculed. Email us digitally-signed certificates because paper, nevermind an actual award, is just far to expensive.
