Re: Team budgets?
I don't know how many teams actually pay for the travel of the students, but we don't. Which saves A LOT. However, we also do individual fundraisers so most students don't end up paying anything if we stay in a hotel. The best one is the Kroger card. You load a re-loadable gift card and 5% of whatever you put on it/use is given back to you on your team account for travel expenses. We also get 99% of parts/labor donated (we do most machining in house by the students unless is complicated and sent out to our sponsor). The only other expenses are what we pay to FIRST and other PR type stuff (buttons, etc).
