Re: Sparkfun.com
They have some very neat products - and at very affordable prices. The IMU board would be particularly useful for FIRST applications. The rotary dial gsm phones that take a SIM card are neat too, but I can't imagine spending $400 on one (or $500 for a red one)

The first time I had heard of them was from Kevin Watson at the kickoff presentations last year, but now I hear people talking about them more and more. One of my professors even recommended them as a virtual "one-stop-shop" for any cheap RF communication, just the other day. I've been pretty tempted to pickup one of their serial port to bluetooth adapters.
