I'm with Matt R.

Team 217 buys all of our stuff from Motion Industries. We even have a PO system with them, so we don't even have to pay until 30 days after we receive the parts. All of our gears, bearings, etc were bought from MI. To answer the Berg question, they stock Berg components but usually use the Berg specs and find a cheaper equivalent.

They are our single point of contact for most of our mechanical components. Here is a sample list from this year:

4mm ID ball bearing
6mm ID ball bearing
9mm ID ball bearing
2mm & 3mm key stock
3/8" and 9mm snap rings
Lovejoy couplings
Martin sprockets
Berg gears, Boston Gears, and AMETRIC gears
