hey guys, do you know if there's any other ways of ordering parts other than online? somewhere near the Toronto area? it takes too long for it to ship and stuff if we order it now. the orders we placed aren't gonna come until after march break... all i know is where to get the servos. but are there like... retail stores for the FTC parts?

No. I wish :D Nor is there in the states (unless Pitsco has hobby stores that carry Tetrix?? :confused: )

Unfortunately we Canadians have to wait. Luckily it ships with FedEx so be patient, it won't take too long. We got our kit in about a week and we're hoping our new parts will arrive soon!

i see you mentioned our team ;) , i'm one of the drivers from team 541, and we were soo excited when we got the invitation to atlanta (my teacher and i high fived even though we were in the middle of a test).

we've got much to learn though. just dropping by to say high :D

EDIT: and our team would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if we can borrow walls off of you guys if you're near the GTA area. we're really tight on budget and we need all the help we can get. thx guys, even if SOME piece of the wall is great
Congrats guys!! You guys were awesome to partner with! Look forward to seeing both teams in Atlanta! We definitely would seriously consider picking you guys again in Atlanta - we really appreciated how well you guys can think on your feet.

As far as walls goes, it basically cost about $100-$150 to build the walls using
the design for the low cost field (using PVC pipes and 1/8" board). Let me know if you need help getting a field built -- really can't spare our field as we are fine tuning our autonomous mode with our field.

Yeah, the only way to get the parts is to ship it up with Fedex. If you really need the parts fast, you can do next day shipping with Pitsco -- we did that before the tournament, but it cost us an extra $78 for the shipping!

Yikes @ shipping cost, still not quite as bad as the trouble we went through getting Vex parts, you're lucky you didn't go through that!

Our robot is going to be vastly improved, nothing like before will happen again lol ><
