Re: FIRST $CASH$ prize...

FIRST is about inspiring students in science and technology. They just make it a competition to make it even more inspiring because science and technology are exciting and competitive. Sports seems to see what America is about and that's why Dean founded FIRST as a competition, to be more inspiring to students. If you want cash prizes for building robots then you should just go do battle bots or something like that not FIRST. If we were competing for cash prizes could you imagine how little support we'd have because that would just make FIRST a go for broke competition like any other sport and not a learning and inspiring experience.
