Student 'contributions' / fees to attend regionals

FIRST isn't about building robots. I know. But I also know that Inspiration comes in a lot of flavors and I, for one, believe it is a lot easier to inspire my kids when we set "playing after lunch on Saturday" as a worthy team goal. - Joe Johnson [more]

Re: Student 'contributions' / fees to attend regionals

My "old" team, 1552 doesn't have a fee for being a member of the team. Students may have to pay for their T-shirt depending on the financial situation.

I see charging fees to be on a team as a brilliant way to drive away potential members. I know I wouldn't have joined the team if I had to pay $100 to be part of it. My parents probably wouldn't have liked it either.
