FIRST has already changed the design of the Regional Champion, Finalist, and Chairman's Award medals in addition to shrinking the sizes of certain trophies (the subject of one of Bill's blog entries last year). My conjecture is that FIRST has already "cut costs" with respect to the competition's "winners" and is now looking to extend their savings to other areas of the program (AKA the rest of the participants).
