Re: Metric vs SAE hardware
Since your location says CA, I'm assuming you will be building everything with materials that come in SI unit sizes. Most American teams additionally will have SAE hardware (if you need anything in the pits or whatever) and chances are you will see mostly SAE standards in the things you use (some FRC components are metric, but very few). I'd say SAE as your main system, though 271 usually keeps a very small box of metric stuff laying around in case we really need it. It'll be more readily available, probably cheaper, and more compatible with everything else you might use, including VexPro and AndyMark products (who use SAE hardware on most everything).
