What's really awesome about this is it actually lowers the cost of goods sold for the suppliers and (in an effiecient market place) for the teams too. Awesome way to improve the experience, I love the 3 suppliers that were selected too, that should help make the marketplace more efficient.

My inner finance nerd would love to know how this change affected secondary suppliers that distribute through the above companies. Like did Lil Timmy's FRC Flywheel Kit benefit from an unexpectedly early second large order. You could make the assumption that shooting would be part of the game. I guess the 2017 game hint will include supply chain analysis.
