Re: GP? I think not.

OK well lets put the whole "message of FIRST" arguement aside for a moment and just look at the competitive aspect itself.

There are plenty of teams that arrive at competition with competitive robots that are built with limited resources and/or limited engineering help.

The game is usually designed so that you can't win purely by having the best machine. You must also be a cooperative team player and a good strategist.

A team that comes to mind is Team 563 in Philly. Always competitive with very limited funding and a few resourceful mentors. A great team. Another team that comes to mind is 284. (a truly great machine this year) It can be done.

If you need help improving there are teams that can and will help you get there.
