That's a good question. Through our Act 111, it supported an array of expenses for the various robotics programs/competitions the last couple of years.
I am assuming that hasn't changed since VEX kits were purchased for schools that are participating through that funding already.

As for covering registration fees for the hawaii regional, 368 or the UH College of Engineering could probably shed more light on that question. I know that we had funding, but I'm not sure how much is left for this and future FRC seasons.
Hawaii teams are depending on that to overcome the registration hurdle.

The concern that FRC students will miss lots of school in addition to 17 less days is a good one.
