Re: FIRST $CASH$ prize...

Definite NO. FIRST has been attracting people to the experience that is robotics for almost 15 years now - without the use of monetary incentives. Adding a cash prize would take away the pure fun and the working for the eventual self and team accomplishment that comes with FIRST. There is no need to sell out that way...
