How much does starting a team cost?
Registering a robot costs $75/robot for VEX competitions, registering your team with VEX is $100 and the parts and kits for robots themselves start from $1000. Although the cost may be formidable, it is substantially less than FRC and FIRST, and can easily be split among multiple members in your team. Cost should never be a prohibitive factor for your participation! Reach out to VEX, they (and we) are more than happy to help.
How many people are on a team?
You can have as many as 10 people on a VRC team, most have 4-7.
