Re: Starting an FTC team

On the FTC blog we thought they were saying it might be $1,000. But you're saying that wouldn't include registration into the program or into an event? How can that be? The teams we have spoken to in our area have told us they've been competing in FTC using Vex for between $500 and $1000 total, which is what we've been trying to budget to start teams next year.
It sounds on here like starting 1 single FTC team will cost $1500-2000. That just seems crazy, the reason we were doing FTC is because we didn't want to need to fundraise and get sponsors like we did in FRC, which made us have to quit.
If it sounds like Vex is still going to have events in many areas, it seems like that would be a better, cheaper and more proven option for a new school starting like ours. What are we missing that I can't see, we've only got a few days to decide? We have about $2,000 and really wanted to have 2 or 3 teams for the class next year, but it sounds here like we can barely do 1 FTC team for that amount.
