FIRST mandates that no spectator fee may be charged for any event using
FIRST equipment.
That does not mean money cannot be made at events - concessions, spiritwear, the ol' tip jar ...
If and when FIRST is as prolific and ingrained as major sports, robocoaches may get bigtime salaries the sportsball coaches enjoy. But with it may come the pressure to succeed on the playing field, as well as job security tied to competitive success.
I'm not sure I want derogatory statements made about me on fan message boards. I am not Looking Forward to
firemiketaylor.com either.
