Go to Post My favorite question of all time asked by "outsiders": How much does/did that thing cost? How can you put a price on the hard-work and dedication it took to build these machines? - KyleGilbert45 [more]

I see it as only hurting more some teams... here is an example

A is sponsord by say acme manufacturing and they have a huge shop with lathe, mill, rapid prototyping, ect.

B is sponsored by say citibank corp. who only donates money.

well A uses the tools of their "sponsor" to make their robot
and B tryes to make the same thing that A made.. well their quote from the machene shop was 5K well B cannot get that part made... they cant make it themselves for lack of tools... but A has no diffulticy in making it because the shop is a "sponsor", B could have easily paied for the labor.. but this years rule forbids it.. so in this case little jhonny students great gearbox, or other device dident get made cause of that rule.. but if jhonny had been on team A it would have been made and used...

now how is that fair for anybody?
