Limited Vs. Large funds?

Well I have some things to say and I do not mean to offend anybody. I just think that it is almost unfair that some teams that are funded by big compines like NASA and Lockeed have a lot of money to blow on their robot and also have pro-engineers to help them build it. A smaller team like mine who can barley get the $5K to enter and is very very lucky to get any help from an engineer. I think that FIRST should consider maby putting a limit on how much you can spend on certain materials and parts. I read in one forum that one team had the time and money to make 2 identical bots. Hey don't get me wrong I loved building the bot and competing at VCU! All I'm saying is that some regulation of funds should be considered by FIRST.

How dose everybody else feel about this??

P.S.
Sorry if I have made anybody upset
