Go to Post I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised. - =Martin=Taylor= [more]

I can't speak for other teams, but we don't drill out the plactions and sprockets because we reuse them each year. We don't have a tremendously huge budget, so we'd rather spend the $25 a year replacing the fasteners rather than the $150-$200 buying new plaction wheels and sprockets to meet the letter of the FIRST rule.
