Well, that would be pretty hard, considering there's a $3500 limit on additional parts. I know we spent about $2000, and most of the work was done by students. Don't be so quick to judge other teams, just because they have engineering help. You can do a lot on your own, too. My team is living proof. But don't look down upon other teams because they have engineers and you don't. Maybe it should be an incentive to you to get out into your community and try to recruit some help?
