Picking which offseasons to attend is like choosing which regionals/districts to attend. Some teams (359, 341, and 233 come to mind), choose to travel across the country for regionals. Why? Because they believe travelling would benefit their program and the students within it, despite the additional costs of travel. 254's decision to not apply to IRI demonstrates that they believe the costs outweigh the benefits (It's almost like the decision was made by a bunch of engineers). Should they attend other offseason events, it would because the cost benefit analysis comes out with positive results.
Sponsorship is everything. Without it, there is no way we do what we do. The main reason we travel though is due to our location. With only one FRC Event, we feel it's not worth doing FRC if it's just going to be a one weekend thing after all the work put into it.
One could also say it's the building experience that's the most important part, which is absolutely true. But there are tons of other STEM experiences that are much less expensive.

Does anyone know when the deadline to accept is? We are still waiting to tag this trip with either the EP VEX Summit or Air Force Academy teacher training for some of us who want to go to IRI.
Airfares are killer this year too!
