It's also a resource issue right? There's a great big difference between the resources at a veteran FRC11 and a lot of new teams.

That was why I decided to decouple that issue by building my own parallel unaffiliated programming (robot hardware) and CNC resources from FRC11/193.

This way if teams in general need help there's no conflict of interest.
For example when I offer this.

It's not terribly appropriate to offer without discourse with FRC11/193 their resources, so I offer only mine and my time.
There was a time I couldn't afford this process because I don't derive my income from this (I used to perform manufacturing it's more a hobby now) but increasingly it's not an issue.
This way the costs and impacts of my decisions are not visited upon them without agreement.
