Re: Does your team charge a fee to join?
While I was on 2220, the participation fee gradually went up over the 4 years I was on the team. As robotics is an MSHSL-sanctioned competition in Minnesota, our school required a $50 fee (which I was never really clear on where it went...), and the team, being very large every year I was on it, had a gradually raising cost for t-shirts and other expenses. Our faculty mentor was very insistent that we kept the fee as low as possible, and if a student couldn't pay, the fee would be reduced or waived completely. A family's financial situation was never a barrier for participation on the team. I believe the total cost was about $150 my senior year.
We also had trip fees for the double DECCer and Championships when we went, but we tried to keep those as low as possible as well.
