A) THIS COMPETITION IS NOT FAIR - Woody only said that!
B) Read up on S.P.A.M. team history. We've worked our butts off (well some of us) to get this far.
C) I'd suggest you read a few of the posts. I'm not questioning fairness, we all know this competition has never been fair. When I started, there were teams with 5 machine shops (staffed) and 6 engineers assigned to this competition and a nice fat $250,000 budget....at S.P.A.M. it was whatever money we raised (being in Florida it was easier to go to Nationals and KSC Regionals), engineers and machinists donating their time...its still this way with one exception. We've grown, the team size has nearly quadrupled in my time so far on S.P.A.M. and those 5 machine shops we have lined up are apart of the growth, a part of our mission to spread the words of F.I.R.S.T. out to our community. You have to start somewhere and those machine shops and engineering facilities have a lot to benefit. Its a both win situation here.
