My son joined SPAM four years ago. I have seen both he and the team mature. If you all think that the $3500 limit levels the playing field -my reply is -yeah right- who are you kidding! When he started with this team - all they had was table top tools -guess what - we still use them -but we lucked out - a nice person who was curious - understood that we needed help -- he owned a machine shop - allowed our students to go to his shop at night and weekends to work . The team did really well - because of our success - we were successful in lining up additional assistance - Some of you out there seem to think that since we are getting assistance - our students are not doing anything at all - well it is not the case -- our students will still be building the robot - what the difference is that this mom and other parents will not be in the pit -- machining lightening holes or other parts at the wee hours in the morning - go home catch a couple hours of sleep - and go to work.
