Re: Pros and Cons of the Championship Event.

I like the way you are thinking but to me there is a major flaw in your logic. You are using the fact that you won an award as grounds for deserving of additional funding. I have always believed that while the awards are nice to get they are not the reason for doing things. You are encouraging a system where people who win awards basically get a cash prize. Also a note must be posted that the judges at each specific event are not FIRST employees and most likely don't have any insights as to FIRST's goals in regards to non-FIRST programs.

While I think you have the best intentions at heart I don't think what you are proposing is a good idea.
