Then make it even longer and move further back into December or beyond the AP finals.

As I pointed out elsewhere my commitments to FIRST start back in September and do not really end until May anyway.

Actually since FIRST commits to filling the orders for the KOP before December there should already be parts available when the KOP is delivered. Plus there's nothing at all stopping anyone from stockpiling earlier. Surely it pays to watch AndyMark's site on Tuesday for the deals and there are usually only 4 Tuesdays a month.
