What's Legal
Just to clarify a point. It is our interpretation, that if it is on the additional hardware list it can be purchased from anywhere even if SPI has it. Many times, if time allows, we purchase additional hardware from SPI to help support them, but often time or cost dictates we purchase locally.
If, on the other hand, it is NOT on the additonal hardware list, it MUST be purchased from SPI. If they are out of stock, we would contact FIRST for permission to purchase identical items from other sources. Over the years we have gone to a lot of expense and effort to stay within these rules. For prototyping and spares we use raw material from any source, but when the Bot hits the crate, it is 100% SPI or additional hardware.
