Thanks for the tips guys. I'll look into drill gearboxes. I've also just ordered parts from AndyMark's "Cheap and Dirty" control system so we can at least get some things moving, even if they're not FRC-legal.
Yes, we definitely will be playing with the Kit of Parts stuff -- I'm just hoping we can get a few things to play with before next January kickoff.
I hope my first post didn't sound like I was looking to hoard a stockpile of components right off the bat. We hope to pick up a couple of motors, a couple of gearboxes, and a couple of controllers in advance of receiving the KoP so we can start experimenting and coding. We'll be fundraising in earnest soon and buying more stuff as we go.
Thanks again for the advice
