I think our definitions of "not many resources" differ. I've been on teams where the build budget was maybe $1,000, the machining resources stopped at that of a disused wood shop, and the mentor expertise didn't really include machining. I would wager my dollars to your donuts that that situation describes More Than A Couple Teams. I would also say those teams are less likely to have an inspiring season if they reached for WCD without more of a grasp of the situation than "254 does it and does well".
