Savage Soccer right in your backdoor.

We have about 50 kids that use our Vex kits to prepare for the season, but we don't want to pay for 4 or 5 registrations. Last year, we just had an in-house competition, and it was free (aside from the Vex kits). We don't want to send registration fees to FIRST and pay a tournament registration fee. Additionally, we don't want to travel much. This announcement is perfect for us because we hope that the other FRC teams in our area will have a low cost (free) event that we can participate in. I am a teacher, as is the other mentor of 1685, and it is already hard enough for us to find enough money to do FRC. Thanks though, we will keep FTC in mind in future years, if we can get enough money!
