Re: Limit team $
No.
We have over 100 students and 20 active mentors on our team. It cost us about $60,000 just to attend Nationals (less than half the team attended)and anotehr $15,000 to attend our second regional - only 2hrs away from us - and these costs do not include entry fees.
The $4000 robot cost is a great constraint and equalizer already.... Besides travel, here are other things that just plain cost more due to the size of our team:
* Training materials.
* Tools.
* Workspace (we built a shop this year)
* Additional training/practice robots - so that *all* kids can work on something.
