In an Email from Andymark the Talons when to an OUT OF STOCK state in 16 minutes!!!

Just like many other teams, those of us in Ontario need to save every little bit we can due to the current problems with the Province and Teachers. Losing out high demand and costly items from First choice is going to make it very hard to field an competitive robot this year. Why you ask, because the teachers are now on work to rule which leaves the running of the team by outside mentors that's assuming the school admins will agree to it.
