Software.

Make all software downloadable via a secure site.

OK, so maybe include a copy in the KoP, but make all software available online. It's really frustrating when your team loses a piece of software and has to get a copy from a local team.
All the way across the state of Ohio is a "local team"?

Sawzalls and circular saws on the robot!

I second including loose Anderson battery connector kits in the KOP. As a team that rarely, if ever, uses the pre-made pigtails, this would save us some money and headache.

I've been lobbying for this option (which cannot fully replace the pre-made cables - many rookies and other teams likely use them) with the FIRST folks for a while and will continue to do so. Would be a GREAT addition to FIRST Choice.
