FTC Registration and Costs 

Registration for the 2010-2011 is open!
 

The program registration fee for the 2010-2011 season will be $275 U.S. This fee will enable teams to participate in official FIRST Tech Challenge tournaments.  Please note that this registration fee covers only the FIRST official registration, and does not guarantee participation in an official tournament.  Event registration will take place through our Affiliate Partners and all event registration fees will be paid to the event, not to FIRST Tech Challenge.

To find your area's Affiliate Partner, visit our Regional Contacts page.  Events will begin posting in September. To partcipate in events, each team member must fill out and provide an Event Consent and Release Form.

Costs

If you are starting a new team, please take a moment to look at the Sample Budget.

The following sample budget is for a new team, purchasing one FTC Competition Kit and participating in one event.  If your team chooses to purchase an additional kit and/or participate in multiple events, the fees would vary accordingly.  Travel costs will vary due to the distance and time needed to travel to an event.
