It is not that hard of a stretch to think that some sponsor donated a bunch of 1x1 or other profile aluminum to every team.


It would be a welcome addition to the kit, since many rookie teams put the drive base together and then say "now what"
Hmmm, this said by the Co-founder a company that sells extrusions???

I agree that raw building materials would be welcomed, particularly for rookie teams. At the partner conferences a couple of years ago I did talk with a member of the KOP team and they were looking into trying to include a voucher for Metal Supermarkets. I responded Pleeeease, Pleeeease, Pleeeeeeease!!!! Primarily because of those rookie teams that don't know what to do after the kit bot is assembled and many have spent all or the vast majority of their budget on the registration fee.
