I wouldn't exactly call it
easy or a
no-brainer. It takes a lot of planing, and a lot of help. Do you know how many volunteers it takes, and how long each one works for?

And when this pops after being punctured by a robot...?

Okay,
FIRST does not have an infinite money source...Just think about how much extra this would cost...purchasing 20 or so tanker trucks, paying drivers and assistants, paying for gas for each of the trucks to travel great distances over the course of 9 weeks...This would
never happen. I promise.
