Re: Local government ordinance hampers Beatty finances.

Having known the many of the mentors, students, and parents of 71 for years I can say that both myself and my family were heartbroken at the thought of them dissolving.

But then I remembered, they aren't a team that will just sit by and be railroaded by something like this, and we aren't a community that will let that happen to any team, four world Championships or not. I have full faith that Team 71 will persevere and come back next year with a robot built of PVC that is a force to be reckoned with. You can take part of a team's funding away, but you cannot take away the will of a community to better their youth, or a team's drive to win.

A team isn't who funds it. A team is the people who are on it, and I am hard pressed to find better people than those on 71. I look forward to seeing them next year.
