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.)
Rage is looking into something similar, only we are thinking about doing aluminum sprockets with our new cnc machine. If anyone has any feedback on this idea and would be interested in seeing something like this happen please PM me.
