We also fielded three FTC teams, in two events. All of our teams were returning, so had the $450 discount on the kits. The basic costs, then, were:

Parts $520 x 3 = $1,560 (includes shipping)
FIRST Registration $275 x 3 = $825
Event Registration $100 x 4 = $400 (only one of our teams went to Vancouver)
Practice field components and pucks $500
Total: $3,285

Other parts $950

Total: $4,235

If we had spent full price for the kits, the total would have been $5,585. Pretty close to what you spent.
