It's actually $5000 not $6000.
FIRST certainly needs all the money they can get. Some (most?) regionals are barely scraping by, even with the help of corporate sponsors.
If they could realistically afford to charge teams less, I'm sure they would, as FIRST is a nonprofit organization.
Your second point is an issue with Sheppard Exposition Services, or FedEx/Roadway, not FIRST.
