This would be like those teams that make a $100 000 a year. then we have the small teams who can barely get to one regional, make their robot out of scrap material and aren't as elite or inspirational, but these are the teams that look up to the elite teams.
I have to disagree... it is precisely those small teams that are the most inspirational to me....
