Re: Does your team charge a fee to join?
On Garnet Squadron, every kid has to be a 4-H member ($10 a year) so there's that. Our expectation for this year is that every FRC student brings on or retains one sponsor, though half of anything raised (including by fundraisers like selling LED light bulbs and working USC football program sales) gets applied to their travel costs.
That said, it does not have a big sponsor to satisfy the requirement. Getting the funding is important, but it also means our kids will have to be able to talk effectively about the team and what we're trying to achieve. Sneaky, no?
