That would be fine and, in such a case, I don't think it's too much to expect that FIRST or Bill added, "Savings here will offset escalating costs elsewhere." More detail would be nice, but it's certainly not necessary.
I'm long over receiving the participation medals, but they're not meant for me. My kids think they're pretty cool, though, and are pretty proud to wear them around sometimes. Medals capture the attention of others and they want to know why you've earned them. Pins, while perhaps more interesting to an insular FIRST culture, will not generate the same interest among outsiders. It's a bad change unless the cost saving is tremendously justified elsewhere.
