Costs

Registration: $200
FSK: $65 – you MUST check this box. Schools/orgs with multiple teams do not need to order more than one FSK.
Shipping: varies

You can also order one robotic kit and accessories when you register.

I was asked this question:

I noticed the Lego robot kit you can order as part of FLL registration is $365, which is a lot more than the basic kits you can order on the lego website. Do know if the FLL kits are something special, or is it just a price that includes software plus extra $$$ for FIRST? Either way, $365 is way high--base kit on Lego ed site is only $260 and has the same electrical inventory.

I received this response:

The FLL Robot Set is made up of two major parts, the MINDSTORMS for Schools (http://www.legoeducation.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=1263&c=0&t=0&l=0) which is $260, and the Technology Resource Set, as well as extra parts commonly used in FLL that can be purchased separately. Regular price for the FLL Robot Set is more than $600, so the FLL price is a huge discount and nothing extra is included for FIRST. They are bundled together so that teams receive everything they need "out of the box" at the start of the season to build attachments and participate in FLL. Teams can certainly purchase these separate elements and participate in FLL, but they would spend more if they chose to duplicate all the parts of the set.
