240 inches / .75 = 320 links * $2.50 = $800
am I reading this right?
FRC discount?

I am not familiar with the exact rules about size, so I can not comment about how much track people will need for each robot. But you are correct that each link will create 3/4" worth of track (I.E. 16 links per foot of track). And each link is $2.50. This price includes both the rubber tread and the associated chain hardware to join them together.
Most of our orders have been for around 200 links. I am not sure if those people are planning on building two robots or not. We can also offer sprockets at a really good price, because we get a distributors rate on those.
As for a discount for FRC we were offering a discount on the colored version of the track. But we have sold everything we can produce in time for the competition. Which is why I have arranged for this bulk order to be made by our partner. Since they will all be injection molded in the same run we can not make different colors and only black is available. These prices are the lowest we can make the parts for. In fact we have paid rush charges to get the parts to be coming off the mold Feb. 1st.
If you are interested in colored versions and are willing to accept a 4-5 week lead time we can offer a educational discount.
