Because a non-profit, profits? Any money that goes into FIRST only benefits FIRST teams and makes the program better. I don't see any issue with FIRST getting more money, they are very transparent in what it is used for.

So you see no issue with providing two diluted events as long as FIRST makes more money??

Its ridiculous the amount of money the average first team needs to raise to go to more than one event including a new diluted championship. Regardless of what the non-profit does with it. There's common sense.

Lower costs if they go this route...yet we all know that will not happen. Someone gets that money sure isn't FRC teams.

They could be way better about disclosing expenses.
