Re: Teams With Team Trailers: How is insurance handled?

Why even bother with shelling out thousands of dollars and then paying for the registration, maintenance, legalities etc only to use it a couple times a year? $4000/3($19.99) = 65 competitions!

Since acquiring our trailer in July, just prior to IRI, we have used our trailer to transport robots to at least 6-8 different events. Off-season competitions, demonstrations at FLL tournaments, sponsors, and other activities. Once we get our logos and sponsors listed on the trailer, they are an excellent way to promote FIRST, your team, and sponsors.
