All of the parts belong to our team, to an extent. Intelitek (the makers of easyC for Vex and FRC) is our sponsor, and because of the work they are doing with Vex, there is a cabinet full of Vex parts available to us. Also, most of the robots were constructed with (a lot) more than one kit, and all of them used non-standard Vex parts (lexan, perf, Fischer Price motors :) ).

I was wondering simply because looking at what those robots had it would have required about 7 expansion kits for EACH robot in addition to the standard kit.

Although I would heistate to say 7 kits each, I would say that there were a lot of parts. I think we may have had about 5 metal kits, whatever was in the cabinet (remnants from 12+ kits) and some parts we bought directly from IFI, which is much cheaper if you only need one specific part. But yeah, we were pretty strapped for parts afterward (except for sevos, I think we have about 20 spares sitting around waiting to be used in our next creation).
