The best part? They give 50% off to FRC Robotics Teams and offer FREE shipping once each month. When you're ordering, like, 100 pounds of extrusions, brackets, and bolts.. well.. that's a deal you can't refuse.

Plus, we ordered $2,000 of stuff last year that pretty much did it for our robot - but wait, the 50% took it down to $1,000! So yeah, T-Slots is amazing.

Is this a deal for all FIRST teams or is that an assumption you're extrapolating from the support that your team has received?

Additionally, how are they one shipping times? Our current supplier gives us a nice deal, but it takes then upwards of 2 weeks to get the materials to us.

Thanks,

EDIT: Additionally, what distributor did you deal with? Or was it directly through TSlots?
