Not sure if we count, we have been to Alamo a few times over the years and are a bit north of the region.
One thing I think may be missing from the poll is facilities/machinery/tooling. Perhaps it fits into the existing robot parts/supplies but that is a major use of funding on its own.
No you guys are in Dallas Region and this poll is for teams domiciled in Alamo Region.
We left out things that are considered capital investments (things that are permanent or almost permanent) like “facilities/machinery/tooling” since we’re concentrating on understanding cash-flow renewable expenditures season-to-season right now.
We’ll probably poll for capital expenditures/investments in the near future…
Alright. It seemed to me that the intent of this poll was to gauge what resources teams get from their ISD’s (for school affiliated teams of course). I brought capital investments up because our ISD (Rockwall ISD) has purchased new/additional equipment for our lab these past years which we would have difficulty sourcing funding otherwise.
