Raw materials/resources. Tools, metal, motors, gearboxes. Find what's available on FIRST Choice and grab the expensive items off that list.
To better gauge this, take a look at
last year's KOP and what you receive.

Generally, for a team that's just starting up an inventory, you can generally put FIRST Choice to good use. As far as allowed is concerned, I haven't seen a
rule about this, but I suppose the morals of this are up to your team.

Hmm, first I'm hearing about this. Since FIRST Choice seems to be companies dumping inventories anyways, I don't quite get this...
