We had over $1000 in 80/20 for our pit organizer "general store" we call it. Most of the time we try to have Neff Engineering donate what we need.

But for parts on the robot a v-slot linear rail like this is awesome to see, especially if it will be tailored toward FRC. Here is a sample of openbuild v-slot we've been toying with.

Fantastic product with tons of great potential. Any idea of the per foot cost for rails and cost of some of the roller components? I wonder if they would offer any discount to FIRST teams.
