Labor should not be tracked at all period. It's a hassle to the mentors and volunteers that adds no value to the experience or goals of FIRST. It does not make the game more fair it makes it more unfair. The teams with no machining resources have no machining resources. The game will always be stacked against them. It's part of building their team to go out and get those resources. Now FIRST has taken teams that might have parity in manufacturing capability and hamstrung the teams whose main sponsor doesn't have a machine shop.

The problem is that the team with machining resources still have only 3500 dollars to use on their robot including machining. Ahhh I see where your getting at but still it will never really be exactly level.
