Re: Why do we bother bagging?
Getting money takes time and persistence,...

If you want to win regionals or at least contend, work at it. Get more money, get a sheet metal sponsor or whatever. Do what is needed to get to the level you want to be at.

2495 is a great example of this, Brandon and Akash have both echoed the fact that the team has gradually increased its budget despite being in a bad school with almost no resources. (Which means they have pushed and pushed to get more sponsors). It's also worthy to note that 2495 won a district event last year (note sure if it was their first)
