Re: [moderated] Spare Parts Rule for 2005

I believe that the $3500 cap should include spare parts because some teams do not have enough bank to support that amount of spare parts. Our team for this year's competition had a $1,000 for parts along with whatever we could make in the metal shop. Needless to say this wasn't a lot and we were not able to compete as well as other teams.
