Re: OUT OF STOCK
This discussion takes me back to the days when we were allowed to purchase robot parts from only one supplier, who did not sell any FIRST-specific components (there was no such thing.). It would be nice to see this get back to a competition of design and manufacturing ability, rather than a competition of consumerism.
While it is an important skill to design around COTS parts and pick them out of a catalog, it's a more valuable skill to learn how to come up with the parts that are in the catalog.
That said, I'll be looking forward to my $1600 VEX Pro order arriving next week.
