Nothing against kamen or FIRST, but there is one big problem with this. How does he expect a FIRST team in every school if you have a base 6000 dollar entry fee? Not many places can come up with 6+ thousand every year. I think this would become a much more realistic dream if modifications were made so that FIRST did not cost so much. (I'm still waiting for that cost breakdown
