Again I'll disagree here.
Our goal should be to inspire the students and help change the culture of the areas we live in. And our competitive product is the future of these students ... not some piece of whirring metal.
We're not here to win a regional or any other 'event'. We're here to win a future for these kids. If a team wants to build a 8 wheel drive chassis, and are inspired by doing that, then we should encourage them to achieve that goal and let them understand the design strengths and weaknesses of doing just that.
