Speaking from an economic standpoint, it seems like FIRST will keep the price the same for some time. With the economy as it is right now, their costs must be increasing since companies have tightened their belts. However, this is balanced with the fact that because there are more teams at nearly any given regional, their revenues towards what are primarily overhead costs (like renting the venue) will be better covered. Taking both of these factors into acount, it seems like they provide a sense of balance that will keep costs the same. In the long run, the cost may decrease as a result of improved economic conditions.
