Hybrid electric nitro 1/8th scale!

I don't see how college students learning mechanical, design, and problem solving skills is pointless. Yes, the RC car is not really contributing anything to society, but they will take the skills and lessons learned from this project out into the real world and apply them to things that really can make an impact. IMO saying this project is a waste of time is very short-sighted. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion too.
