Re: GP outside of FIRST

Go to a college-level engineering competition sometime. (SAE Aero Design East is in Atlanta between April 3 and 5...) There are some examples that stand out from the West competition, but they mainly involve my team. Suffice it to say that other teams know where to go for tools, electric power, and even parts. Follow the power cord from the hotel or listen for the generator. And after one of our planes crashed, we donated the engine mount, which was undamaged, to another team because they didn't have a legal one and hadn't had time to build a legal one. And when a plane crashes and breaks, the groans are audible all over the field.
