I'm far too tired to deal with an issue that has been discussed on these forums far too many times. Let me briefly sum things up.

1. Please don't make assumptions about the student to engineer contribution ratio on a given team. Unless you're on the team or closely associated with them, you can't possibly know.

2. FIRST allows teams to set their own guidelines on how much engineer contribution takes place. Just because your team may be more student driven doesn't mean that every team should be that way. By all means take pride in your own team's setup, but don't knock other teams because they aren't like yours.

3. The 'I' in FIRST stands for inspiration. That control box is definitely inspirational, no matter who it was built by.

4. Finally, there is no 't' in Cadillac.

Every year I'm impressed by Truck Town (and a little afraid). Keep up the amazing work.
