It seems unlikely that Delphi would be given a $4500 device for free, especially if they intend to make money off of it. At best, Delphi could probably get it at a discount which could put the cost anywhere from the base cost to a small 5% savings.

depends on the industries and depends on how high the mark-up is for segways. Delphi might be able to obtain one for half price, or from general b-stock if they wanted to.
They also might be able to get one on loan, but prob. not to make money off of. Especially if they thought they might cause an uproar from the FIRST community, showing favoritism towards those teams.
Amanada is right tho, this is an option for certain teams, and certainly not others, Just be careful with your teams money, It has hard to come by, and losing money on a fund raiser would be a terrible thing to see happen to any team.
