Go to Post Dean looks rather debonaire in a tux. Like some sort of engineer super hero. The tuxedo is like his Clark Kent costume under which lies his amazing denim suit, to be whipped out at a moments notice in the face of uninspired youth and problems unconquered. - phrontist [more]

Re: Team budgets?

The estimates above are right.

We have a somewhat smaller budget, but team members are expected to pay for lodging, food and transportation for all travel (though this is partly subsidized by the team).

2 regionals & Championship = $16k in fixed costs.
Add $5k for the robot supplies
Add $4k for associated expenses - shirts, buttons, you-name-it
The rest (I'd estimate $45k total) is travel.

You CAN do this cheaper! Donated materials, donated labor, donated food & Mountain Dew, etc all help, not everything has to be a check. Like 1618 noted, even a bunch of sub-$1k donations can get it done.

IMHO the championship is the budget buster, it involves flying.
