I really wonder what these "newer" teams would do or complain about if they were around before 2006 where we had to custom manufacture all of our parts and there weren't many off the shelf items available (yes, build season was still 6 weeks). Stop complaining and find a solution.
(wrote a whole paragraph here and then deleted it because I don't think many understand the risk of making/losing money as a business when your target audience is FIRST robotics; and I don't think it's appropriate for me to explain either.)
I truly believe that given our circumstances and the timeline for build season; WCP, VexPro, Andymark and all our other suppliers do a phenomenal job at keeping us updated and answer all our questions. Yes, parts are late sometime but that is the same problem we face in our "real world" job everyday.
on another note... RC, send me my parts!
