At our school there is no activity fee, no club fee, no cost to students for uniforms, no travel cost (transportation, lodging, meals) and no fundraising requirements. Some team members do spend some of their own money on robotics "stuff".

Most team members do help with fundraising because they get hrs. for it. Their hrs. are tracked by staff and are used to earn a spot on the regional trip, letter and receive a free letter jacket.

If we charged even a modest fee i do not think we would have any students.

We do have 2 FRC teams in our small school and the school gives about 12k in all to support us.

We have one large sponsor 5k and a few small ones.
