This isn't a shot at 359, love those guys. More for all the people who are jealous.

If your goal is to get some waterjetting on your bots, it's pretty easy to get shops to sponsor you.

Worst case, you can always pay to get it done. I've seen it quoted anywhere from $100-$300 per hour.

Average waterjet making average parts and 3-4 hours of cut time is enough for a very crazy single robot, or for 2-3 sets of moderate parts.

For reference, in 2012 we had 12 hours of cut time for 3.5 robots worth of pure craziness (lots of gearin). In 2011 we cut 6 sets of claw plates (each set was 6 large plates) in ~ 2 hours.
