Re: FIRST Competition Entry Fee Increases for 2005

I'm slightly offended by the posters that are accusing people of not being motivated if they can't raise the extra $1000. I'm quite certain that there are teams out there that are working incredibly hard as it is to secure their current level of funding. It's especially hard for teams in rural areas to get funding as there aren't businesses nearby or a large population base to draw on. And despite some improvement, the economy still isn't in the greatest shape, and corporations are still running with tight budgets. So, I think that the price increase will definitely cause problems for rookie teams and teams that are already strapped for cash. Any arguments about teams simply not trying hard enough ignore the real issues that these teams face and that this increase causes.
