I've been saying this for a while. We run a $35,000-$70,000 per year business with $10,000-$30,000 worth of capital equipment in tools and another $5,000 to $20,000 in parts. So you should think like you have a $50,000 to $120,000 company to run. FIRST does a lot to promote business like activities (you can get an award for having and executing a business plan, in the real world that just gets you a chance to keep your business running another month).
We are all in tight business times, real world and FIRST robot world. As Chris says, time to evaluate, plan and execute.
