Re: How Much Does it Cost to Run a Team?

Over the course of a season, especially a rookie season, it is not difficult to spend $6000 in addition to regional registration costs. And that's not including travel There are more costs that come up than you will ever realize at this point. Can it be done on the cheap with little more than the KOP? Yes. Can it be done better with more money? Absolutely. I would not start an FRC team without a minimum of $11,000, and at least one person who has done it for at least two years previously.
