Any ideas on how to convince them?
My team always pays their own way. Last year it was around $370. The year before that, when we qualifiied just a few weeks before Houston, it was $600. Everybody was perfectly willing to pay.
Money is not a factor, experiencing a FIRST Championship event is priceless.
I'm really sorry your team doesn't find it necessary to go. That's the only persuading thing I can say...
