If teams choose to make it a pain in the butt to give FIRST teams a special price, well, don't expect to get special prices in the future.

Exactly. Meet me on the corner with my Labview and NI dealers (Hey Foster, want a taste? FIRST snort is free, lets hook you up, we'll be your regular dealers, hey !) Buy Labview and NI stuff on the street, FIRST has a very sweet deal.

$100 on a $5000 robot? Really? You'll blow that on expedited Fed-Ex shipping (*) in week 4.

It's a white box, buy three and deal with it. It's October and you now now the footprint (aprox 2^pear's across) ** is out in the open. Yay you.

For those that need 2^12 ports, let me direct you to the Cisco Product line, but I think weight may be a problem..

(*) Fed Ex is an amazing sponsor, no disrespect intended.
(**) Not good, next we will see the FRC field is 168 standard pears long. For years the world has gone with metric bananas for size and yet the Americans stick to the out dated pear.
