I get really mixed feelings reading this thread...

On one hand all we have to spend is $1000 but as NASA says "the check is in the mail" so right now we got squat. nothing. nada. nil.

We got some metal yards (about 5) to donate extruded AL, Northern Tools SAY they will help us w/ some tools and a machine shop will only charge us $30 an hour for work (welding etc) So how do we right that in. Do we still need to right fair market value for the machanists time? Are they sponsors?

For example, l I know we wont have a multi speed electric transmission (like some teams) but not because of cost but because of time, expertise and alot of people who believe in the KISS method (far too much stuff to go wrong in a complex design) and no one who knows how to design something like that much less build it. Cost comes into play later... But it still is a big expense.

Even better than that for a materials writeup what about our team bartering w/ the mechine shop w/ metal (we found about $1000 dollars worth of metal in our shop when we cleaned it out) and the mechanist says he will trade us. Go figure.

What I think of the rule? I'm not sure.
