It would seem to me if that's the limitation imposed on a team, you can give the students an idea of what engineering is, but if you're talking purely about a competitive standpoint, that team that spends 12 hours a week won't even be able to compete with similarly funded teams with similar resources who work at least 2-4x that per week.
Dean has already said the competition isn't fair, and isn't meant to be. Why is this being discussed? I'll print off my post and eat the piece of paper if FIRST moves to Ken's sailing divisions idea. It's just not going to happen. It would be bad for FIRST.
