Its tough on low resource teams who rely on the KOP and PDV more heavily. I know in our history one year we needed to switch to different wheels on our robot but honestly couldn't afford them so one of the mentors had to foot the bill.

Most teams don't have the luxury of being able to just order what they need when they need it and bypass slower turn around from companies like Bimba.

I agree free stuff is free stuff but it does put teams in a pickle who need those parts.
