Creating and selling parts.

[David Kelly]

FIRST is about Inspiration It doesn't matter if students get inspiration from planning to creating to manufacturing to purchasing to watching to engineers creating the parts etc etc etc. As long as students are getting Inspired, FIRST is doing it's mission.

If somebody wants to create standard FIRST parts/ assemblies and sell them, let them do it. If somebody wants to purchase standard parts/ assemblies, let them do it. Maybe there is a business out there where somebody can make parts and sell them at reasonable prices to teams to get them off their feet, especially rookies.
