For example, the Classmate went from 100 credits to 200, lead screw from 5 to 20, slewing ring from 5 to 100. The only thing, I believe, that is "cheaper" is the 4-slot cRio, dropping from 100 to 40.
Yes, but the objective wasn't to make things fewer points - it was to normalize them so that their rough value was equatable to their point value. The last couple years, you could have loaded up on fluke multimeters and sold them for a big profit - much like the video card this year.

The values seem fairly accurate except for a couple exceptions this year, and there's a lot of worthwhile stuff in there. We can always use more pneumatic tube, hoses, batteries, spikes, etc.
