Man, and we were barely able to scrape together $5,000 for a cheapo little chinese mill.

Seriously, what kind of institutions are you finding that are willing to shell out that kind of cash?

And hey, if you ever want to retire some machines, I'd be willing to adopt them :D
This is why I put on workshops several times a year for different groups. As broke as this country is and as poor as our state public school system is, monies are out there!
The question becomes how hard are you willing to work to get it? :)
Then comes the pressure of performance based on what you got. Those that give out grant funding expect you to deliver and there are no gray areas when it comes to reporting/data/impact.

It's not luck, 359 works extremely hard (and smart) for their money.

Nobody should be jealous or think it's unfair.

Brandon, because we are volunteer based, its a hard sell to get established seasoned people like yourself to come here, without knowing what Job you could get here.
Now, if I had the 2438 situation, and be able to offer a job with our program (center), I'm sure we could attract people from the FRC community.
I cant even imagine what it would be like to get paid well for doing what we enjoy doing anyway.:ahh:
