Andrew Dahl is an unknown quantity at this point
Angry its the same as real life- deal with it!!!

I can see the way that this thread is going---
its boiling down to a us (no money/machine shop) vs them (they have everything)competition

that is not the way to go-

I have been the leader on a team that has had it both ways

1st year no engineers- just me the students and hacksaws and grinders
result- fourth place alliance

2nd year- engineers acess to a great machine shop
and tons of help with structural stuff
result- third place alliance

the following is not meant as a personal attack by any means just a statement of opinion-
use or discard as you see fit

/rant on

the people who make these arguments seem to be really not having a good time building the robot-
that can stem from two things-

a: not being invloved in the whole process and the B***ing about how no one ever listened to their designing ideas
b: bad student/adult leadership

and guess what- welcome to real life
no matter what you do there will always be people better equipped and people less equipped than you

its all about taking advatage of what is offees to you or in your realm of attainibility

/rant off

sorry- but I was getting really fed up with the us vs them and who builds the robot crap
