1 & 2: Agreed
3: Not sure what I think about spare parts...
4: I don't really agree with this...some teams use laptops and such when they are going for "Leadership in Controls" awards and such and that could take a major chunk out of the $3500. Besides, I don't see how an "expensive" OI would give teams a big advantage...It's an area where I'd like to see more innovation and quality.
On the bright side, I'm glad that the electronics cost limit is going up
