You sound a lot like our setup at MIT -- except you're much further along -- we're completely student run, with just a bunch of undergrads.
I agree that just throwing money at the problem might solve it, but where does the innovation come in?
And yes, what team doesn't hate on Stanford and CMU with their titanic budgets and press and teams of people who don't have 24 semester hours to deal with in addition to building a Grand Challenge vehicle.
We, MIT, blew out our steering motor three hours before our demo with DARPA and don't have funding to have replacements for everything (CMU) so we had to withdraw before showing what we had
