So this idea occured to me when browsing the technical forums,
Many users are posting looking for a source or supplier for a certain part. What if there was some feature that would be a database of parts and suppliers. For example, if you found a good source for the ILSCO SLU-70 6AWG wire lugs that came in the kit and are required for use on the robot, you could enter it into the database so that future people could easily find it. Or maybe a good source for mills like that been discussed in the past. It would be quicker and easier then having to search through threads, and people could rate entries with stars like the threads are rated so that people could be sure that they are good supplier/source.
You could also include other information along with the items information and the supplier information, like location of supplier, minimum purchases, payment options, etc.
Just an idea that popped into my head.
Wondering what Brandon/others think of this idea.
