It doesn't necessarily have to be money, but something in return wouldn't hurt--and it wouldn't spoil FIRST. Teams aren't going to cheat for something that isn't a cash prize--or so we'd like to think.

...it doesnt even have to be money...but even without a refund people would cheat, not demonstrate gp, or everything ur grandma wants.
