I've always wondered why FIRST is so hesitant to release the very basics of the KOP in the Pre-Season. I can't imagine that a team would gain a substantial advantage by knowing what speed controllers and battery models would be allowed next season.

One of my favorite things to stock up on in the weeks leading up to build season are prototyping materials. Wood, PVC, Small Wheels, etc, that can be thrown together into a quick prototype on Saturday or Sunday are always nice.
