Re: Machining Sponsorship for FRC Teams

All this discussion... The rule and the blue box BOTH are pretty clear
Quote:
except for labor provided by Team members (including sponsor
employees who are members of the team)

If the machinists are considered members of the Team, their labor
costs do not apply
It doesn't matter if the company is a sponsor or not. What matters is if the machinist is a member of the team. Most of the people discussing this probably don't even live within driving distance of Anchor Labs... are you seriously going to try to tell your inspector that a machinist you've never met, and maybe don't even know their name, who lives and works 1000 miles away and whose time you paid for is a member of your team?

Lets try to be realistic here. I've seen the rule stretched, but I can't really imagine trying to stretch it that far.

Don't get me wrong, what Anchor Labs is doing here is awesome for teams. Having an easily accessible machining resource for teams that don't have access to local sponsors that can do it is much needed.
