-Location. The team (hopefully) will not be tied to a single school or location. If a student from another team in a different state wishes to help out with the team, they can apply and "telecommute" their work via CAD, internet, and USPS. Just as in a corporate model, there would be limits to this. In order to be considered to be a satellite member, the student/mentor would need to offer some skill or asset that a local member cannot provide.


The main goal here would be to simulate a business model. It wouldn't be a slow, mainstream business model, but more of one closely resembling groups like Lockheed's Skunkworks group; a highly specialized team of engineers working towards a common goal, with a structure surrounding them that allows creativity.
So when can we apply?
