No, but there are practical considerations in how much time we can realistically motivate our students to spend on fundraising, how much money that fundraising will actually bring in, and when it is feasible to do fundraising activities (time saved during our twice-weekly preseason meetings is not equivalent to time spent at events outside of those meetings).
If we save some amount of time on our preseason drive chassis (say, an hour or two) by having a pneumatic riveter, there is really no feasible way we can readily turn that hour or two into money given the constraints of our team structure.
There are a lot of assumptions implicit in the utility calculation you've outlined. Those assumptions are valid in some contexts, but certainly not universally.
FIRST robots definitely meet many commonly agreed upon definitions of robots. Some will disagree. Good for them. In my opinion, it's not worth arguing over. - Mikell Taylor [more]
