Personally for me as a student I enjoy the time I put in machining, but I understand that my school is lucky to have a nice machine shop and the classes to teach one to use it. Some schools don't have that ability and I understand it. In addition if you can get laser cut parts that's great use the resources. The thing about power house teams that always irked me the most is the multiple regionals they compete in sometimes. The teams that don't have the budget to register let alone transport the kids and robot don't get that chance. Also it gives an advantage to those teams. Then again some of those teams are fairly Inspiring. If i could change one thing though I would put a max on 2 regionals and the second has to at a regional that is in your "region" still. That's my two cents.
