Re: Ideas to move in the direction of making FIRST competitions 'fair'

Why FIRST is like MasterCard......
Life always works in REVERSE order:

.....Taking home a cheap Lucite Trophy.........$10
.....Doing enough car washes to afford the trip to Atlanta ........$1,000
.....Soliciting & Teaming with a good sponsor and mentors.........>$10K

....BUT, getting to meet new teams, learning from each other, and shaking Woodie or Dean's hand.........PRICELESS
