Don't you think the wise decision would then be to not make that comment in THIS thread and either PM the person you are directing your comment at, or start a new thread to talk about that specific topic??


Anyways,
Love the chassis 295...they look really nice

A friendly reminder from the CD moderator crew:

Confine discussion in this thread to the topic at hand-295's frame. Not who built 295's frame, or whether it's good or bad that it was done that way.

If you wish to address that topic, search the forums for other threads which exist for that purpose.

Plus this is an exact representation of industry. Many companies do not have the machinery to fabricate many of their products, and as such, the company must contract out to a fab shop to have their parts created. We do the exact same thing and I don't see how having a shop laser cut parts that the students design that could not be manufactured any other way is against the beliefs of FIRST. The purpose of FIRST is to inspire students to go into science and engineering fields and having someone fabricate parts in no way diminishes this aspect.

So I guess you think there should be no kit of parts? After all, someone is buying all that stuff for the teams, they're not building it themselves. (And sorry for dragging this thread off-topic again.)
