See that's the thing. You have to accept it, or you don't participate. End of discussion. We aren't doing FIRST a favor. They're doing us a favor.
When they made this announcement, they weren't announcing a debate as to whether prices should be increased or not. They were telling us that they would be, and they did a good job of explaining why. As has been previosuly stated, it's been a good while since the entrance fee was last raised, and it's about time they did again.
As I already said, the bang for the buck is unparalled. Where else can $6000 change an entire group of student's lives forever? I know that FIRST has been worth every last cent that my team has payed, for me, and much much more.
Hey, at least they told us now, some 5 odd months before registration. They could've waited to make this decision and told everyone at the beginning of September.
Again, if you cannot find an extra $1000, you *are not* trying hard enough.
