Re: What do YOU want in the Kit of Parts?

I think a good item to include in the kit is a book of fabrication techniques such as drilling a hole straight, drilling holes in multiple parts so that the holes line up, and just general things like that. I think that even a lot of veteran teams could fin a use for it, such a training new team members. They don't have to be fancy, they will likely get destroyed every year so it is best to make them cheap and recyclable.
