Formula SAE, right?  Along with many other sources of info you can find
through this list, have you read my articles in Circuit Cellar INK on
doing just that?

NO!  (Well, OK, probably not.)  But it isn't infinitely more expensive,
especially if you have help.  If this is Formula SAE, your
_production_ cost *will* be lower for the purpose of the Cost Analysis.

I can, but we probably needn't clutter the list with it.  email
me at lansie at rpi.edu.  I'd like to know how much time and money you
have, how many people and their capabilities, and your performance
goals.
