This was done in 1999 I think at the Hartford Regional where The Technonuts who were at that time sponsored by Stanely brought a long tons of Stanely tools and let teams borrow them. FIRST had told them that they would have a station in the pits but when they got to the regional there wasn't a spot left and they were given an area in the stands which was out of the way. This is the main reason for the failure. The next year there was a rule that said teams couldn't bring their own shops and what not so since they had a not so good experience the first time and thought that they would be included in what wasn't allowed to be brought they decided not to do it again.
