Re: FIRST Competition Entry Fee Increases for 2005

Ok Ok..... FIRST has increased the prices nobody in their right state of mind can go up to FIRST and ask for a lenient solution. So like I and a few others have stated. Instead of this fee being paid up front. Can it be broken down into monthly payments with the end date being before Nationals. So From opening time which would be generally around End of August / Beginning of September and have a date that it has to be in by no later then at least 1 week or more before Nationals. The only flaw I see with this is a team Participating and Paying after!.

FundRaising Solutions:

Bake Sales
Car Washes
If your in NYC You can help with the cleanup for the Marathon
Yard Sales
Garage Sales
Candy Sales
Bagging at Supermarkets
Emailing and visiting with robot in hand to every Company in ure area Big and Small.
Advertise and do a Demonstration of the game. Charge those who are coming a 25$ fee (from the audience) . maybe have a few teams get in on this as well and split the proceeds.

Any other ideas !!!
