It isn't reasonable to tell every team reading on chief that a makerbot will be "just as helpful" as the $100k machines you have access to.
The makerbot can do some useful things for FRC, but to hype them up as just as good as top level industry machines is unfair for the teams who might believe that statement, then dump all their FC credits into a makerbot.
