This statement I disagree with entirely. There is no precedent that I know of anywhere in any sporting-style event where the organizers of the event pay for the teams to travel to the event. If FIRST was to do this, the costs would have to be covered somewhere, which would mean that there would be some fee implemented across the board to cover these expenses. Keep in mind that we are talking complete travel expenses for 6(perhaps more in the future) teams...FIRST was trying to prevent some teams subsidizing the expenses of others when implementing the $75 per person event fee for nationals participants booking outside of a provided package...taking funds from all teams to cover the expenses of a select few would be a step backward in my opinion.
