That's just the registration fee. What about robot shipping costs? FIRST package costs? Travel costs? Lodging costs?
I don't see the point in wanting to pay teams that win. A team should already want to win due to human nature. I personally think a large trophy and that warm, fuzzy feeling you get inside is a satisfactory prize for winning a competition.
