Right but not everywhere is Lear. I know my dad is a aeronautical engineer and his company doesn't have to make their programs, electrics, web on top of everything else. Plus as i recall Lear is slightly larger than any teams i know of. In fact yes their are similarities and yes exceptions but still FIRST is VERY intense. All I'm saying is that a mechanical engineer has knowledge that would far surpass my own yet that doesn't mean they are better at say building a car. Anyway sorry if their some confusion. Normally when i post i just assume people understand I'm not trying to make my statements all inclusive (in fact i normally say so). From now on ill be even more clear on this.
NOTE: nothing in my posts is a given fact and only represents my opinion unless i say otherwise. I know! A little dramatic I'm just making it clear that its an opinion based on my knowledge thus subject to flaw. I still stand by it. Few companies as small as a FIRST team have to cover such a spectrum of knowledges. I understand where you come from but i think you are looking at it from the outlook of a large company. Most teams are close to 15 students.
