i think charging is the exact opposite thing that should be done. There should not be a burden on teams with other costs and fees. Fund-raising is already hard enough getting the money they can. People are not going to want to get into an organization that they have to pay to participate. Thats why i think that MassFIRST or in our case IndianaFIRST should be totally separate and not supported by any individual team. It should share no costs or have to be supported, financially, by those teams.

I completely agree. I just wanted to say that in my previous post when I mentioned absorbing the cost into the team budget I was speaking not of the high school team, but of the organization we have going through Tech (GT FIRST) very similar to IndianaFIRST and the proposed MassFIRST.
