292 teams went to Florida last year, but only 238 were allowed to register initially. More spots will be available later on. Anyways, the problem with a deposit is that if we don't get to go, the majority of that money(i.e. plane tickets) will not be refunded. Since the team has only paid for the robot shipping and registration in the past, the students would then be burdened with the hotel, plane, food, entry fees, etc. If this money cannot be refunded, then the students would be gambling. No one will support the trip then and it will be cancelled anyway. So, I don't think that will turn out well. I'm sure something can be worked out, we'll have to see.
