Their 2013 financial audit report indicates a total program registration fee income of $19 million.


So, to me, what the audit report looks like, is that it costs FIRST about $10,000 per team per year to operate this program. That seems rather costly for them.

I've not looked at the referenced financial documents but do your calculations per team account for Jr.FLL, FLL, and FTC teams in addition to FRC teams?
