Re: Which is Truely cheaper?
FVC, by far.
Most FVC events are around $200, which is less than 10% of the cost of registration for an FRC event. A top notch FVC bot takes about $1000 in parts. The size mandates on an FVC team also typically force cheaper travel, food, and lodging costs (and because most FVC events are one day, typically lodging is either shorter or not required at all). All those costs still don't add to up the cost of even registering for FRC.
