Re: How Much Does it Cost to Run a Team?
Noting their location (Philly):
$6000--KOP+Philly Regional $500--T-shirts/promotional $200--practice field--may vary by year $2000-3500--Additional robot materials $1000--hand power tools (drill, hacksaw, etc.). May be less if you already have said tools. $8000--Funds to keep you going for one more year assuming no fundraising (or a recession). May be accumulated over 2-3 years. Total:$17,700-$19,200 for one event; add $4000 registration and extra for travel for each additional event (except for CMP, when it's $5000). Someone's probably going to come in here and say that half of this stuff is unnecessary, and they're right: the only required part of this is the $6000. However, the rest is "expected" of a team. For my old team, who did 2regionals + Championship for as long as anyone can remember (until this year), we figured $15,000 registration, probably around $4000 for robot parts and materials, $500 for shirts and stuff like that, and travel was paid mainly by the students and parents. (All numbers are approximate or guesses or both, except registration.) And I know I'm missing some things... Last edited by EricH : 08-04-2009 at 01:33. |
