Re: Which is Truely cheaper?
This is how it should be broken down:

-$6000 for registration, KOP, and 1st regional.

-Up to $3500 in additional parts for the robot. Remember the FRC KOP also doesn't include enough stuff to build a "winning robot". Moving, but not winning. I'll bet that every FRC team has spent additional money on parts outside of the KOP.

-$4000 for each additional regional. $5000 for championship.

-Money for transportation to regionals/championship. For some teams this could mean flying and hotel reservations....which gets costly.

FVC hands down. Bigger robots = more $$$.
