Just to add my two cents:
This is the school 9th year and this is my 8th year. We are getting out because of the things FIRST has done.
It cost us about $35,000 a year to run our program. This has been funded in so many different ways.
FIRST has taken the wind out of this program for saying you can not go to the nationals unless you win or have done something in the past to be able to go or be a even team.
For us not to go to the national is a big thing. It has taken us a long time to do well.
So after they announced how this year is going to work, we went out and saw how we can teach robotic and do everything FIRST is trying to do by going to battlebot.
Not all team leave because of funding.
Some leave just to go somewhere better.
