Re: Limit team $
My reasons to not have any sort of budget cap (aside from the robot costing):
- Impossible to enforce.
- Could force some teams to pick between competitions, outreach, or other positive ways of spending the money.
- Ultimate budget does not strictly correspond to robot performance.
- Encourages students/teams to "quit when it's good enough" instead of striving to be better all the time.
- Artificially cripples teams who may have to travel more, pay more for parts shipping, bring more students to events, or generally have higher overhead costs for whatever reason(s).
I have yet to see any pro-budget cap arguments that hold up to scrutiny.
