Personally it became less relevant when I couldn't get a team together
*while still in University* (so this would have been 2008) mainly due
to the cost to participate. I never heard anything about making it
easier or cheaper to get parts, as far as I know you can't buy single
parts.

It's great that they allow 'community labs' now, if that actually
makes it easier to get into the competition. Why wouldn't they be
competing for the same medals as everyone else though?
