But then don't listen to me because I never started a team..
Not to change the subject but only 2 mentors on 2826 had ever done FIRST before.

As for the budget i agree with just about everything that has been said. We, 857, are a small town team and our budget this year was about $35,000. We went to 2 Michigan district events and are going to Atlanta. We don't charge the high schoolers anything except for their shirts, so our travel costs are more expensive than the registration fees and building the robot, that is why our budget is so big.

Your budget really comes down to what you can get and what you plan to do during the year.
