Re: Does your team charge a fee to join?
We cannot charge a fee, but we do encourage people to pay $135 to cover the cost of competition, shirts, etc. Hotel rooms are paid for by groups of students rooming together. If somebody can't pay, they are still full members of the team. We are in a pretty affluent area, so the costs are usually not a problem.
We have 50+ spare shirts from years past, so if somebody can't afford the cost or don't pay, they can probably pick one up during build season for free (just ask and come occasionally).
We spend a lot of money each year, and even with grants we get around 30% of our cash from parents.
