We are attempting to start an FTC team this year (7314), but have run into an unanticipated dilemma. I'm asking for suggestions.

We ordered our TETRIX kit (w/ NXT) from FIRST on or before 10-August thinking that this would be plenty of time. We were wrong.

There are no TETRIX kits due to a counterfeit UL logo on the TETRIX battery chargers. We am hoping that this will be resolved and that the kits will ship soon, but I cannot count on this and the level of communication from FIRST on this issue has been minimal.

We've not used TETRIX in the past, so we've got no legacy parts. Here we are a week after kick-off and the team has got basically nothing to work with.

Are there a lot of other teams in this situation? What are you doing about this? How are you managing?
