It's too bad if we can't use these Piher pots (for example). They are less than $3 each and make great continuous rotation sensors. I have not yet found anything similar from the listed suppliers.

I'd like to see the rule amended to say we can purchase compenets that meet the $$$ requirements ($100/$200) that we can obtain from Newark, Digikey, and Future Active OR from a supplier/distributor SUCH THAT the component or comparable component is available from Newark, Digikey, or Future Active.
Does that make sense? This rule would be in the spirit of the GP. If we buy a part from our local distributor and Digikey or the others sell a comparable item (at comparable pricing), I see no advantage that one team could gain.
I'll post on the Q&A and let's see what they think.
