Robotics vs Sports

[staplemonx]

What is the Value of a Robotics team compared to a sports team. Alot!!

Lets say that the average robotics team costs 11k and has 15 students. The cost per kid is $730 per kid. And per the FRC marketing material 88% of kids involved in a first team go to college. That means on our average team 13 kids go to college.

Using the data from this info graphic we created a a graph to show how robotics compared to other high school sports. We also added the national rate that kids go to college and came up with a graphic of our own. Robotics by far looks like the best deal a school can make if it want to get kids to college.
