Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Exciting News from FTC
Oddly enough, even with a $700 net credit, it's still far cheaper to start a VRC team than an FTC team, especially when it comes time to register for the World Championship. Regardless, I hope teams who can or plan to take advantage of this do so.
There's probably something intelligent to say about whether or not this is a marketing move to push more FRC teams to start more expensive FTC teams over the much more economical option in VRC, but I can't really find the words for that.
