Go to Post IMO the main idea behind FIRST is for the mentors and students to work together to produce a machine that the students could never have produced on their own. - Tim Sharp [more]

I didn't mean to diss it. If I where selling it to a customer I would not tell them that. I was just trying to explain how they most likely did it. I actually DID look at the website first too. Granted it is nothing I would ever buy but after looking at the prices of things I'm guessing that they make money by charging a huge markup.

Re: More bucks for your time

I'm sure this will be good for some teams, but I have a hard time to get someone to donate $10 let alone go to a website to buy something. Thanks for the suggestion though. I hope it helps many other teams out there.
