At $20 each, that's $20,000 to add one more Globe motor to the kit and $20,000 to add one more Tiagene motor to the kit. Write FIRST a check for $40,000 and the motors will be sent out ASAP ;-)
Seriously, it is easy to say, "FIRST should have included this" or "The kit really needs that" but how many sponsors did you contact in the off season trying to get them to donate thousands of dollars worth of goods and services to FIRST?
The auto industy in bleeding red ink. I we should all be thankful that Globe and Taigene donated ANY motors this year yet alone 2 per kit - recall that in a prior message I predicted Keyang wouldn't cough up the usual seat motor this year* It is a tough time for the auto industry, we all need to think lean...

*By the way, this is the first year FIRST has not had a seat motor in the kit at least since I have been around in FIRST. I am pretty sure that they were in the kit in year 2 and perhaps since year 1 . FIRST historians, help me out here.
