This gives me an idea (tell me if you think this is ok). Why not have teams donate to FIRST dollar-for-dollar on what they spend. If they want to spend more than 3500, why not, but this way they know that spending to much would not be a good idea. Certain expensive items, such as victors, should be left out. The money that FIRST gets would be spread out to all of the rookie teams (and second year teams if there is enough).
