The cost of two team registrations, two full competition kits, all the extra parts and two event registrations was $5000.

I still think FTC is good value for money as an true Engineering Experience.

Not to mention the first year is the most expensive. Most of the material can be recycled into next years robots. Our first year we spent well over $1000 on parts. This year, only $200.
