Re: Limit team $
No two teams are alike. Some have full support of their school, other's have to create their own 501c3 and purchase/rent their own building. The costs associated with both of those scenarios differ greatly. This is why their cannot be a limit on funds coming into the team.

Another example would be the differences in how far teams have to travel to get to a regional. Even if they went to the closest one to them it can still be a drive. Take for instance the fact that there are 4 team in North and South Dakota combined. They will have to travel out of state to go to a regional which means their costs would be different than my team who can get on a school bus and travel 30 minutes to get to the regional.

The playing field is balanced cost-wise for every team in reference to the robot. Look at 4.1.3 in the game manual. There has always been budget constraints for the robot in my 8 years in FIRST.
