I think we can all agree that this is true.
However, FIRST also converted every regional to be a Bag/Tag event by default. Aren't the number of "ships" much lower as well?
FIRST just recently offered hardship grants for regional reg fees.
Why not offer it to teams attending outside regionals/international teams as well?
If FEDEX is sponsoring shipments, isnt it at no cost/much lower cost to them? Pass that down to the teams...
I'm still frustrated about the whole no PO from our school issue. Who is FIRST trying to serve? Schools right?
