Team 100 is definitely having trouble. The economy is so bad that we have only found enough $$ for two comps, building the bot, and absolutely nothing left over for next year. we too have been limited in machine shop hours, because we practically lived there for the six weeks. This is not something that is written out, but more understood. We are hoping to qualify for nats, but at this point if we do, we will not have the money to register.

I would switch team funding with you in an instant. You are very lucky to be able to go to two comps and build a bot. We currently have enough money for one comp and a robot and perhaps a couple hundred left over. And this will be a VERY conservative robot I might add. Also, we have to leave min $2500 for next year but at least we don't need that until September.

About the computers thing, our principle is really big on computers. We have more and better computers than you could ever imagine. However, we haven't the money for two comps or to build a fancy robot.
