Re: FIRST $CASH$ prize...

If you want a prize go out in your community, visit your local Elementary school, and start something, wether it be a FLL team, FVC team, or just a day where little kids come and look at your old robots, the look on their faces as they smile and learn should be enough of a reward for any of you. As we said at WildStang, FIRST isn't just about building robots, it's about building people.
Being on a FIRST team is prize enough. Money is not needed. Start a new team, and give that prize to other kids, share, create a community that is centered around robotics, just watch and see, maybe you can win Chairman's, The Championship, or what I think is even more prestigious, a peer award from a neighboring team that you have helped more than they could have imagined. FIRST changes lives, you can be part of that change, and I don't know about you guys, but that is prize enough for me.
