Re: FIRST $CASH$ prize...

Money would be a GREAT motivator for certain teams in this game but the aspects of this organization is the fact that you have to work with your community and find sponsors and with that crash prize if there is one than teams might drop sponsors and it would take that factor out of FIRST.

Also you mention that it will take GP out of the competition due to people who want to win JUST for the money. Also this might turn into a MORE mentor oriented game because all the mentors would be working harder because they want the team to win and get some money so they will be more "set" for the future years.

Overall I vote no. Money = BAD for FIRST.

Pavan.
