I imagine another big sticking point even if FIRST pays is going to be mentors being able to get off work. I know of several mentors on our team who burned through their vacation time last year and wouldn't be able to swing it for another event especially with only 3 potential matches.
This isn't about the mentors necessarily having to be their to teach and help but to be there to fit school criteria of chaperoning.
