There are teams, like ours, who have a very small budget. We paid $6000 for entry and have some money for parts but not alow. We go to a local regional that we plan to drive an hour to each day to save money. So yes, there are teams who dont have alot of money.
If any veteran team has old Exide batteries we will surely take them off your hands.
