Membership Fees For our FIRST Robotics Competition, we will need to pay the registration fees in two weeks. As a result, there are $250 in membership fees to cover registration.  Methods of Paying Membership Fees: Checks made out to InspireNC Paypal If your employer offers donation matching, please consider using this service (As InspireNC is a non-profit, these count as tax-deductible donations)    If your student, in grades 9-12, is interested in participating in the FRC program, they must create an account with FIRST, at firstinspires.org. If your child is under 18, you will also need to create an account with FIRST and sign consent forms. After this, you can apply to our FRC Team, Team 6908 Infuzed, by clicking on the tab 'apply to a team' and searching for our team.
