We don't all know that teams like you describe are out there. Teams with access to waterjet machines are rare enough; having the whole robot waterjetted are even rarer. Teams with all the work done by professional engineers are the rarest of all. The combination of all three? Maybe one team in FIRST total. And that is a high estimate.

I'd like to request that this thread be moderated, as it has started to have very vague and general accusations thrown around, without reason or facts. Not to mention that some previous threads on this topic have become or almost become flame wars.
