There are several costs associated with this event here is what I get from teams that participate and what I think will happen for this year:

Entry fee: $800.00 for a team of two robots ( could be two schools which split the cost ) see options for entry.

Additional materials: You will be getting a great kit with a lot of stuff. We anticipate teams will spend less than $100 because the materials may be on hand. Additional materials list will be published soon.

Day of event: We will have drinks, snacks and lunch available for low cost ( we barely break even on this). Cost per person will depend on how much they eat. Most food $1 or less.

Out of town teams: I get a deal from the local Holiday Inn a mile from the school. Last year the rooms were $89.00 a night. This is a modern great hotel with many fast food places nearby. You can put 4 persons in the rooms ( they have 2 double beds).

Transportation: depends on where you are coming from.

Other: Teams wear their FIRST shirts, trade buttons, make signs and all the general activities like at a FIRST event.

There is NO cost for spectators to enter.

I hope that this helps. If you need additional information please ask.

You will get the kit In October and have about 4 weeks to build.

This is a One day event Saturday November 16. 7am to 4:30 pm

Teams can set up their pit the night before 7:00pm to 8:00pm.
