Re: FIRST $CASH$ prize...
I am against FIRST giving cash prizes for winning championships, however, I am not against giving teams money for winning regional awards so they can compete at the national level. Last year, winners of the LA regional were given a grant so they could go to nationals. Without this money some teams would not have been able to go, as they had not planned to go to championships originally or had financial difficulties already. It would be far too difficult for FIRST to provide this funding, however, private philanthropies should be encouraged to provide such support.
