In districts you could go to 2 districts and DCMP for less money ($10k, plus 2x 'close travel')... additionally going to 2 districts, DCMP, and CMP should be only more than your current setup by only 1x 'close travel' (about $15k, 2x 'close travel,' 1x 'distant travel').

I'm not sure what you mean by "close" travel. Based on what we've heard so far from NC FIRST, it's closer for us to go to Palmetto than 2 of the 3 locations she's planning for district events, and the third is about the same as Palmetto. There has been no comments so far about DCMP, but I'm not holding my breath. It could very easily go from 1 x "close" and 1x "Far" to 3 x "far".
