Okay, this is mind-blowingly amazing. I can't even begin to comprehend what we could do with that kind of money.

I understand wanting access to your own machine and all, but you could get a couple very nice CNC mills, (and a really, really nice CNC router for sheet metal parts) for that kind of cash, and running them will be a lot cheaper. Why waterjet?
We have a total of 7 mills and lathes, a Sharp minimill with a conveyer belt (new), and lots of other equipment already as well.
Maybe one day, we can get guys like Aren, Adam or Brandon to move to Hawaii and make use of all of our stuff.
I have dreams of even more stuff that I am working on. It wont happen overnight, but it will!
I guess you could say that's my "hobby" in the FRC program besides coaching and managing our program.
