I'm not sure on the costs as last year's expenses were largely paid for by the sponsors of the event. Our robot made it through customs alright, as did 75's. Unfortunately two of the Brazilian teams ran into difficulties and didn't get theirs in time for the event. We did however run into trouble in trying to get the robot back to the US, and didn't actually get it back at the school until early July! Please don't let this be a discouragement though. The event is an amazing, once in a lifetime experience and is definitely worth it. I'm sure there is also much support from the event sponsors again this year.
