Go to Post To anyone who is discouraged about their team, don't let yourself get down. I've seen my team go from having a robot that barely moved (and I'm not kidding, we had keys falling out of gearboxes) to this year with a robot that is ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK. Don't lose hope, stick with FIRST! - ZipTie3182 [more]

When you are talking about those price gaps you can not expect the same presentation value.
Um... FTC takes up less than 1/5 of the area and resources FRC does so that's not a great argument you present. FTC annual registration doesn't include a KOP.

The kop is mostly (almost all iirc) sponsored parts. And that extra 5k for Champs has nothing to do with it.

If you want better presentation you pay more it's as simple as that.
