High School
1) No competition - hold LEGO MindStorm Summer Camps.
2) FTC
3) BEST Robotics
4) FRC
Middle School School
1) No competition - hold LEGO MindStorm Summer Camps.
2) FLL
3) BEST Robotics
4) FTC
Elementary
1) Draw a robot
2) Build a robot out of cardboard
3) No competition - hold LEGO MindStorm Summer Camps - Build Robot.
4) FLL

Why would perticipating in more programs be less expensive? By keeping with the same competition every year many resources can be reused season to season. Initial startup years are undeniably the most difficult and expensive. Why would teams want to go through this every year?
Respectfully, Bryan
