Most teams that are established now do not have machine shops in their name -- yes you are right -- now we are going to have teams with very long names -- but who force these teams to do so in the first place -- as an volunteer and a teacher -- I could not in good faith --tell the kids to ignore the rules -- we will have to adopt all these shops' names as part of our name -- by introducing this rule -- FIRST has made it difficult for a lot of teams -- I am sure that it was not their intent -- but in another thread relating to this dilemna -- it would have been a good idea if FIRST open the rule to discussion prior to implementation. Another thing -- if the teams were forced to paid the shops for services -- teams may not afford to go to competitions -- there goes the budget -- unless you are member of one the big kahuna teams with deep pockets.
