If you have an issue with event and program costs, follow our lead. These things can be changed.
The key to sustainable growth in FRC depends on 2 things:
1. reducing the price of entry.
2. increasing return on investment for participation.

I wish I could tape this on the door and show it to every Texas FIRST team.

But sadly, everything is bigger in Texas, including our regionals.

If you want the district model of return in Texas, your team should do VEX.
