Re: WCP: 2017 Product Launch + MCC 2017

Amazing products. I was actually planning on mimicking 971's tensioning system if necessary. I'm glad I will be able to just buy a product now.

Do you project that products (specifically the flipped gearbox) will remain in stock through, at latest, the first week and a half of build season? I know it's difficult to project how many teams will buy products and how many they will buy, but is there considerable preparation for a large influx of purchases?

I ask because I have doubts that our head coach will want to buy four gearboxes (2 for competition robot and 2 for practice robot) with a bunch of different possible gear spreads before build season when we will actually be making design decisions.

If you do not have a definitive answer that is fine, but any quenching of my fears will help.
