Re: Creating and selling parts.

I see a potential problem with this. If enough teams started to sell enough different parts, FIRST could basically become who can buy the best parts type of thing. If a certain team had the money, they could buy team a's frame, team b's tranny, team c's arm, ect. and end up all they do is a few modifications to the frame to fit the parts, and bolting them together. There's a difference between manufacturing parts a team cant make as a mentor, and buying parts. Plus, the fundraiser would be hard anyway, if the other team wanted to actually use them in the competition, sense all their parts have to be made during the build season, they fundraising team would have to basically become an assembly line to make any profit.
