Go to Post The rules also never explicitly say that I can't park a Boeing 747 right in the middle of the play field and use it as an obstacle for the other alliance. But after a little thought, something tells me that I probably should not do it. - dlavery [more]

They lost a further $726million in the Q1 and Q2 of this year, making the likelihood of them being able to keep themselves afloat at their current rate very difficult to say the least.

This is truly going to affect the FIRST community in a very bad way in the next few years, and we can only hope that either the affected teams are kept on the budget or that they are able to find sponsors for the 2007 or 2008 season, depending on if/when the cut occurs.

Wait... do you mean to imply the government shouldn't have taxed them?! I don't care what they sponsor, I don't feel bad for a company that goes under due to variables within their control, espescially a car company. In a free-market democracy, the majority gets what it deserves.

What's the old saying? Death and something...
