This information is two years old, but I think $750 per season is a good figure
for a team who owns the robot already, can build a sit-on-the-floor-no-lights
table for about $50, and can borrow a laptop computer for use by the team.

The $750 would include:
Team registration and challenge kit
Research project and skit materials
Regional tourney fees
Tshirts (low budget)
Very small items for tourney exchange

We did snacks and transportation as extras provided on a rotating basis by
parents.
