Our biggest change was actually getting techincal assistance from our sponsors. Before, we never had engineers, machinists, or anything. The only help Visteon gave us was money and one parent, who isn't really even an engineer. This year, we had a GM guy helping with design, as well as machining and welding help from the guys at the Tech Center. It's nice to be able to draw up some plans in CAD, run them down to Warren, and get the finished part back the next day... though it's still fun to do things ourselves, it gives us more time and more options.
