Well, it really doesn't grow on trees, and some teams can't go to more than one or two FIRST trips as is, let alone a series or season of regionals, plus the national. We want FIRST to continue growing, not disqualify teams from going before they even start because of expenses. Our team is lucky enough to have a sponsor (Xerox) that pays for our way in full to one regional and the national, but other teams raise money all year to just make it to one competition. We must keep them in mind as we decide the future of the Nationals.
