I'm going to have to agree with Bethany on this one. I just think we may be underestimating the utility of the second and third regional. Maybe we could hear from someone who's done it. Joe?

I also wanted to say that Chris makes a good point. Almost enough to convince me. But I certainly see the position much clearer now. I think the harder it is to achieve, the more proud you'll be when you finally do.

And lastly, about the machine shop, we use ours because it is convenient and although the machines are antique, they do work. Somewhat. I also believe that NASA does not allow students to use their machines. Our school has a policy. We build our own robot. All parts are machined by students except those that are obviously beyond the capability of our shop. This policy would not be plausible if we were to move to our sponsor's machine shop.
