Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Pilot Rookie Competition

There are also FIRST mandates to make each event have a familiar look and feel resulting in expenses each regional has to shoulder, for instance, this year FIRST is going to use electronic banners to display the primary sponsors at an additional rental cost of ~$5,000.

The rational behind robot shipping often comes down to insurance mandates (as well as union rules at large venues), and insurance can be a big invisible expense.
