Robotzone and ServoCity are the same company (Servo City is their digital storefront, Actobotics is one of their brands of parts). They are located in FTC-less south-central Kansas. They graciously hosted kids from two of the teams I help out with for a visit prior to the start of the season, and are fantastic folks. They also give a 25% discount to FTC teams if you sign up. We were the first FTC teams to ever visit. They have a pretty large warehouse downstairs, and a lab upstairs where they develop all their new stuff. It's pretty cool, and I am always seeing new things out of them. We used quite a few of their parts last year and are gradually purchasing more (we have a decent stock of Tetrix, but future purchases will be mostly Actobotics and raw materials).

We are within one-day UPS ground shipping area for Pitsco (which is, coincidentally, located in another small Kansas town, but farther east). We've usually received things within a day, but more recently it has been a little more sluggish. I wonder if it has to do with Lego Education divorcing themselves from Pitsco and moving operations from Kansas to Boston?
