FAHA: Who travels free?

[Racer26]

1075 has always been a 'poor' team as far as funding, certainly not on the engineering front though...

Students have always paid somewhere on the order of ~$200 for a regional weekend.

When I graduated high school and became a mentor to the team, particularly in the 2007 and 2008 seasons, the team picked up the tab for my hotel room, but not for my food, and whatever else. I thought it was fair repayment for my time and effort (blood, sweat and tears too), and I think it was sort of massaged into the costs of everyone else (being that I'm the only non-teacher mentor, this didnt add much to anyones costs.)

Last year as a rookie team we were fortunate to pay for everything when we went to a regional and Atlanta.

This year we needed to charge $50 for each member going to St. Louis. There will be no charge for those attending Milwaukee because we commute to that one. If we make it to Atlanta there will be about $100 fee for students because of the airfare expense.

Corporate mentors have their expenses paid by their companies. School personnel are covered through the district.

Everyone pays for their own food while on the trip.
