Re: A Corrupt FIRST?

Quick suggestion: Before making unsubstantiated claims and wondering where the registration fee goes, look at http://usfirst.org/aboutus/content.aspx?id=78 for annual reports going back to 2003. You will notice that the first item is an audited financial report.


And as for claiming the KOP has little of value: Motors aren't exactly cheap. The Kitbot isn't exactly cheap. The software in the KOP is NOT cheap, especially in non-student versions. With the prices of copper these days, the wire isn't exactly cheap. I'm not sure I want to know how much the batteries cost.
