If everyone bought a chassis, FIRST wouldn't be the same.

Plus this is an exact representation of industry. Many companies do not have the machinery to fabricate many of their products, and as such, the company must contract out to a fab shop to have their parts created. We do the exact same thing and I don't see how having a shop laser cut parts that the students design that could not be manufactured any other way is against the beliefs of FIRST. The purpose of FIRST is to inspire students to go into science and engineering fields and having someone fabricate parts in no way diminishes this aspect.
