I know that stuff, I was wondering why the sudden change in heart for McMaster.
I'm not sure how many FRC teams this will affect. From what I recall, if the order was shipped directly to a school, the order would go through, anyway. Never placed any orders however, so I can't comment on the validity of that statement.
That being said, this may prove useful for other companies that are not related to FRC, or community teams.
