Your word choice was right, FIRST is a business. They claim rights to anything invented or designed during or in relation to the program and they are not-for -profit not non-profit. Don't get upset that the great FIRST is holding out on us, they are a company, but they are a company with a good reason for existing.
At the same time- I certainly agree that FIRST could cut its prices, or get them to subsidize our purchases from key companies. And it would certainly inspire the ideas of FIRST to disperse across the world but maybe thats something that the next generation of FIRST leaders/volunteers (those graduating high school and college) need to try and get changed.
