How much money are you looking to raise?

The entry fees were US $6000 last year; US $5000 this year (rookies $5500) due to the KOP changes.

This does not include customs fees, shipping the KOP to Brazil or Chile or your preferred country, shipping the robot to the U.S. (or your country of choice) to compete, transporting the team internationally, arranging for extra batteries and tools to cut down on the costs of the above, and the various other travel expenses for both the robot and the team.
