Hey Matt,

Tell the teams who are spending about 99% of their time fundrasising, or are without sponsors, or are wondering how they are going to scrape together enough money to field a FIRST team this season. I think it would be great if FIRST were about the engineering and things like money and such didn't have to come on the radar. However I think a great many teams out there would agree that FIRST is prohibitaly expensive and that to much time/resources need to be spent fundrasing and money collecting. Saddly FIRST cost so much that so much of a teams efforts are money related.

my $.2,

Justin
