Creating and selling parts.
(DISCLAIMER: This is from my own mind, and is not endorsed by any team or FIRST or whatever.)
I was just trying to think of a fundraising thing, and it hit me.
Suppose team pi realized that they make a mean competition port dongle. Suppose further that they need to raise some money to get registered and such. Would making a few dozen/hundred/gajillion dongles and then selling them be a good thing or a bad thing for FIRST? FIRST teams?
(Friendly reminder: There are people outside of FIRST who use IFI systems like ours. Robot combat, largely, but I imagine other fields use it as well.)
