[Disclaimer – this is a promo for our team’s sponsor. We are eternally indebted to them and would like to make folks aware of what they have to offer. I’m doubly indebted since they hired me last year! Wahoo!]
AutomationDirect is one of the best kept secrets in FIRST. They have over 13,000 automation parts IN STOCK, excellent prices and best of all they ship SAME DAY.
AND they gave every FIRST Team a $20 voucher for 2013 (expires April 27th 2013).
2-day shipping is FREE if you spend over $49 (over and above the $20 voucher, of course), otherwise it is a flat $6 for ground shipping (voucher can’t be used for shipping, only parts).
AutomationDirect is in GA so southeastern teams can get orders NEXT DAY – if the order is placed before 6:00pm EST. That means even West Coast teams can get their order in two days!
Here are the most popular items Teams order:

starting at $2.75

Pneumatics Tubing – and they have lots of colors and even have the
stretchy coils in single and double tube forms
