AM=$35.00 + Shipping each. Currently In Stock/ Wt. 0.65 pounds each (Gray Coating w/ FIRST Logo 10").
Gopher=$239.85 shipping included for a multi-color set of 6 (the 10" size
is not sold separately or indiv. currently for any advertised price of on their website). Listed as: In stock soon/current expected shipping date listed is 12/28/14? (also unknown actual weight each pc.-will it be the same weight ball?)
Now, I understand that supply shortages are real world problems. But the actual game pcs. when it takes 12 alone to just start auto mode w/ 2 alliances/6 robots on the field (and 6 of those being contested pcs. alone)....Well, I disagree on the choice of supplier or item when you must start the prototyping/design process with only 1 avail. kit supplied game pc. and no real other options.
Game pcs. should be easily kickoff avail. and immediately shippable by at least 2 suppliers (Mfg. and 1 official FIRST Supplier, or multiple source stores in this type of case).
Just my opinion. (Not like the game isn't difficult enough to design / strategize for this year or anything).
