$ 6, or $ 600 or $ 6000 or $ 60,000 ?

Try football and band if you want to spend some real money. It will blow the doors off FRC.

I have to disagree. I have kids in band, choir, soccer, and dance. Robotics costs much more to run. (and as team mom I know what it cost to run our team.) While football and band may have a larger budget....they traditionally have at least three times as many kids participating. The cost per student in Robotics is higher.
