That is partially my point. They have fancy bells, whistles, and lights. Most of it relitivly expensive, donated or not. The bar gets raised, and other teams can't match it. A lot of teams don't have sponsors at all, let alone ones that can donate big toys.

A lot of teams are struggling very hard for funds. I just left a team that I doubt will be around next year because they can't afford it.

Kind of frustrating to see teams that flaunt their cash while others struggle to make it to another year. I guess that's how it is in the real world though, some people have mansions, others have shopping carts.
