Hurting, not helping

Well, I agree with you on some levels. But I do not agree that this evens out the spread between te "super teams" and the rest of us. This is how I see it...

Last year, if we needed a specific sprocket, or pulley, or gear or whatever, all I had to do was open up a catalog, find it, and buy it. This year, we can't do that. However, teams that have access to these various machines, etc, can legally machine their own parts out of kit legal components. At the same time, since my team has no such access, we have to either compromise with something from SPI, IF it is even available, or just ditch the idea right off. Now, to me, this does not seem to be helping that spread, but hurting it.

Just my opinion,

Jason
