I believe that if they want to make the high-graphic version, that is fine. Just make a simpler version as well for us that don't have an endless supply of money for a computer. If Inventor keeps going at this rate, then FIRST will start having to provide computers that can actually run it (if they want to keep the playing field level). My team, I am sure, will continue to play even if Inventor starts giving others an advantage, however FIRST may seem less favorable to new starting teams.

I'm not sure about that. The software actually doesn't require all that much out of your system. So I doubt that this will be a huge factor for teams to make turn down FIRST. All bugs can be fixed and Inventor can even be run on lowly Celerons and Semprons of 2ghz or more. For any more specs refer to the
Autodesk site.
"Note: The preceding requirements are recommended for effective use of Autodesk Inventor 2008 software.
The following minimum system requirements for Autodesk Inventor 2008 can be used for educational purposes or small assembly design: Intel® Celeron® or AMD® Sempron™ (or better) with 512MB RAM and 1.5 GB available hard disk space. Installation of the Content Center requires an additional 1.8 GB of hard disk space and can be installed on a local workstation or centralized on a server location for access by multiple users."-Autodesk site
I don't think this is asking too much from any team or computer.
