Re: [FTC]: Unlimited raw materials. Welding. Wow!

I don't know much about FTC, but wow, this is a big change indeed. I can see a lot of both good and bad that will come from this. Hopefully more good than bad. It'll be interesting to see if this change impacts program growth one way or another. One nice thing is that FTC has differentiated itself from Vex now in the sense that it's not "just a kit you put together" (as I've heard some folks say). I like Vex, but there is something to be said for making things from raw materials.
