I was looking up the encoders on AndyMark. The encoders they sell are only $20 each when you buy them in bulk (50), and they sell them for less if buy more (it says I have to ask for a quote if more then 50), but they sell them for $40 each.

And I'm sure shipping +$5-10 in profit is not $20.

They also sold every team a base kit that can't even clear any of the obstacles, so that you would then have to buy another base kit or upgrades (Making them more money).

On top of that they knew what this years competition was, and they couldn't even keep Rhino Treads in stock during build. Some supply and demand could be going on.

I know that I'm getting off-track on my own thread, but I'm trying to conserve money for our school.
