I think this may be where people are getting confused. In the States two District competitions are the same cost $5,000 USD as one Regional competition. So people see your difficulty as "only needing to raise whatever isn't covered by TDSB". For teams without a TDSB to support them, we typically have to raise $5,000 plus robot costs, travel, team expenses each year. Perhaps if you explained how your situation differs from that it would help people to understand. Is it only the difference between what TDSB provides and the total cost?
